Rogers Community Recycling Center

The Rogers Community Recycling Center is located behind the Rogers Activity Center. It began as a collaboration of efforts between the City of Rogers, residents of Northwest Arkansas, and senior citizen volunteers. We are the largest independent drop-off recycler in Arkansas, accepting recyclables 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A covered drive-thru drop-off area provides comfort, as well as convenience, for our citizens. The RCRC has been honored with several local, state and national awards including “Program of the Year” by the Arkansas Recreation and Parks Association.

Currently, the facility accepts aluminum and steel cans, aluminum scrap, cardboard, chipboard, clear and colored glass, newspapers, office paper, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, magazines, catalogs and phone books.

To date $1,304,862 has been donated to community recreation programs and facilities. The RCRC has recycled over 79,000,000 pounds of recyclable material and trash that otherwise would have taken up more than 5,000,000 cubic feet of space in a landfill.
