There are different ways to recycle in Hot Springs.
In addition to the city's Earth Angel curbside service, there is also the Recycling Center and the Recycling Drop-off Center.
The Recycling Center is located at 218 Runyon St. and is open from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Recycling Drop-off Center is located at the corner of Valley and Runyon streets and is accessible 24 hours a day. Both locations accept aluminum cans, corrugated cardboard, newspaper, sorted office paper (including phone books), plastic (grades No. 1 and No. 2) and glass jars and bottles.
For a short time after the Christmas holiday, natural Christmas trees are also accepted at the Recycling Drop-off Center.
