James R Welch Rogers Recycling Center

Small recycling center in Rogers where residents drop off curb-sort items and bulky recyclables that don’t fit in the blue cart. Neighbors swing by with boxes of paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and scrap metal; community cleanup hauls show up here too. It’s the kind of place used by folks who want to keep recyclables out of the landfill without driving to a larger transfer station.

Drive up to the site on N Arkansas Street and look for a booth and a row of large bins and containers; the recycling bins sit off to the right just past the entrance area. There’s a visible scale area for traffic flow, so expect to slow down coming in and again on the way out. Loads are sorted by material - paper and cardboard in one spot, plastics and glass in another, and a separate pile or container for scrap metal. Weekends and spring cleanups can get busy, so lines and a bit of queuing are common.
