Green Texarkana slated for Saturday

Green Texarkana, the Arkansas side's monthly recycling drive, will take place 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Hazel and Third streets downtown.

The city's private-sector partners-UNICOR, Waste Management and Richardson Waste Inc.-will accept rinsed metal cans, paper, cardboard and plastic. Those materials may be mixed together.

Green Texarkana does not accept electronics, glass, Styrofoam, tires, furniture or hazardous materials including fluorescent lights.

Residents must wait to bring their items until volunteers arrive at 8 a.m. Leaving items in the parking lot earlier is considered littering.

For more information, call the city recycling center at 870-779-4946.
