City of Helena - West Helena Regional Landfill, 1448 B Phillips Highway 217, West Helena, 72390, Arkansas
City of Helena - West Helena Regional Landfill sits on B Phillips Highway in West Helena and is where locals bring larger household junk and bulky items. People from town and nearby areas use it when curbside pickup or small drop-offs won’t do. Expect a working, industrial-looking place rather than a tidy recycling center.
The site is open and utilitarian - lots of gravel, trucks, and earth-moving equipment moving about, so plan for dust and uneven ground. There is typically an entrance point where vehicles are directed and most landfills use a scale, so stopping more than once is common. Recycling or drop-off bins, if available, are usually off to the side of the main traffic lane. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so allow extra time if going then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a helper for heavy or awkward items; many drops are easier with two people and unloading solo can be slow and awkward.
- Load and arrange items so they can be handed down or slid out quickly-separating large pieces from loose debris before arriving saves time.
- Try to go midweek or outside peak cleanup times when possible, because weekends and spring cleanups often mean long waits and slow movement around the site.
