Helena West Helena regional landfill
3386-3434 Phillips Rd 217, West Helena, AR 72390
(870) 228-5022Helena West Helena Regional Landfill is the county’s large burial site on Phillips Road, used by both residents and commercial haulers from the surrounding area. Located just off AR-217 in West Helena, it handles the final disposal of municipal and commercial trash. The facility operates under Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality oversight.
Expect a sizable, open site with a scale house near the entrance where vehicles stop to be weighed; tipping fees are calculated by weight. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the access road to the working face or instructed unloading area. The yard looks rugged-dirt roads, compacted working areas, and rolling piles-so drive carefully and watch for heavy equipment. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly have backups at the entrance and scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads before leaving home; loose material tends to blow out on the road and can lead to delays at the site.
- Bring a clear plan for unloading so the driver can get in and out quickly; large commercial loads are accepted but take more time to spot and unload.
- Allow extra travel time on weekends or during community cleanups, as lines at the scale and entrance can be slow-moving.
