A local composting spot in Bentonville that takes organic materials like yard waste and food scraps. Neighbors and small landscapers drop off loads here rather than hauling them to a landfill. It's part of the Arkansas system regulated by ADEQ, so it operates like other municipal compost sites in the state.
Pull up to a modest entry drive where there is usually a small booth or gate area marking the entrance. Vehicles typically stop, then move on to a series of piles or bays where different organic materials are unloaded. The site looks industrial - piles of brown and green material, turning equipment nearby, and unpaved surfaces in places. Weekends and spring cleanup times are noticeably busier, so expect some wait time if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or container to keep food scraps from leaking during transport; it makes unloading cleaner and quicker.
- Separate woody yard waste from softer food scraps if possible - it speeds unloading and keeps the piles neater.
- Try to avoid mid-morning weekends during spring; those times tend to have the longest lines and limited space for parking.
