Pope County residents have four days this week to get rid of unwanted appliances, scrap metal and other household materials during the county’s annual fall cleanup, starting Monday, Oct. 26.

This year’s cleanup has moved to a new location: the Pope County Road Department at 7211 State Highway 124 in Russellville.

The event runs Monday through Thursday, Oct. 26-29, with extended hours on the final day to give residents more time to drop off items.

Drop-off hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday.

The cleanup provides an opportunity for residents to dispose of items that can be difficult to get rid of through regular waste collection, particularly certain household hazardous materials.

Among the accepted items are old appliances, scrap metal, batteries, oil-based paint, antifreeze, insecticides, herbicides and spray paint.

But there are also several restrictions.

The county will not accept concrete, tree limbs, stumps or other yard waste, latex paint, medications or burn barrels. The event is limited to residential disposal, meaning businesses and contractors cannot participate.

Tires are no longer accepted at the county’s cleanup events. Residents looking to dispose of tires can instead contact Green Source Recycling, located at 24087 Highway 164 in Clarksville.

With the change in location this year, residents should head directly to the Road Department facility on Highway 124 rather than the previous cleanup site.

For questions about the event or acceptable materials, call the Pope County Road Department at 479-968-6400.
