After storm, city staff outline sanitation drop-off points and warming-center hours
Summary
City staff told the council that county landfills were temporarily closed but would open for limited hours; the city set sanitation truck drop-off locations and said warming centers were open overnight and would scale daytime hours as temperatures rose.
City staff updated the North Little Rock City Council on sanitation and warming-center operations following recent storm conditions, providing locations for temporary trash drop-off and describing plans to resume routine routes as conditions allow.
Mike Davis told the council county landfills had been closed but were expected to open the next day for limited hours and that the city would run sanitation trucks at specified drop-off points: Edwards Food Giant, Fire Station Number 8 and Fire Station Number 9, with staff checking Rose City Substation as an alternate location. "If you put it beside it, we're still gonna grab it," Davis said, describing how crews would handle overflow trash from affected households.
Councilmembers requested quick dissemination of the drop-off locations; staff confirmed the information would be posted on the city's website and social media. Council also discussed warming-center operations: staff said centers would be open overnight while daytime hours would be adjusted as temperatures increased.
Council members thanked public-safety and street crews for storm response and acknowledged the ongoing operational adjustments as crews work to restore normal service.
