Which option fits your Russellville cleanout?4
You have oil-based stain and a few spray cans
The county's Fall Clean-Up at the Road Department, 7211 SR 124, is the option the county lists. Its notice gives October 26-28, 2026, 7 a.m.-4 p.m., and October 29, 2026, until 7 p.m. After that, call 479-968-6400. Oil-based paint and spray paint are both on the notice's list.
You have latex wall paint
Don't take it to the clean-up; the notice lists latex paint as not accepted. We found no Russellville or Pope County page on latex. Call the Road Department at 479-968-6400 and ask what to do.
You can't make the October dates
Call the Road Department at 479-968-6400, Monday-Thursday. You can also call the centers ADEQ lists in Clarksville (479-754-7475) and Morrilton (501-354-1370) to ask whether they take paint from Pope County residents.
You're a contractor with leftover job paint
The county's clean-up says no businesses or contractors. Ask a licensed hazardous waste company, or call the Road Department to ask whether there's any county option for business waste.
Russellville rules and tips5
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Call the Pope County Road Department at 479-968-6400 before you drop off paint; Pope County has no year-round site on the state's hazardous waste list. The county's notice scheduled its 2026 Fall Clean-Up for October 26-29 at 7211 SR 124; it takes oil-based paint and spray paint, but not latex paint. We found no city or county page that says where latex goes, so ask the same office.
This guide is for Russellville, Arkansas, in Pope County. Arkansas has no PaintCare program, and the state's list of household hazardous waste collection centers has no Pope County site. Pope County's main option is its Fall Clean-Up at the Road Department; the county's notice scheduled the 2026 one for October 26-29. The notice says it takes oil-based paint and spray paint but not latex paint, and it isn't open to businesses or contractors.
Oil-based paint yes, latex no
The county's Fall Clean-Up notice lists paints (oil base only) and household hazardous materials such as antifreeze, insecticides, herbicides and spray paint. Latex paint is on its not-accepted list, along with concrete, yard waste and medication.
New place, four days
The clean-up has moved to the Road Department at 7211 SR 124. The notice scheduled it for Monday-Wednesday, October 26-28, 2026, 7 a.m.-4 p.m., and Thursday, October 29, 2026, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The Road Department's own page lists 7211B SR 124 and hours of Monday-Thursday, 6:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., closed Friday.
No businesses, contractors or tires
The notice says no businesses or contractors and no burn barrels. It also says no tires of any kind are taken any longer and sends tires to Green Source Recycling, 24087 Hwy. 164, Clarksville.
City recycling isn't for paint
Russellville's recycling FAQ says not to put electronics, batteries or other hazardous waste in recycling pickup or at the drop-off. The city's drop-off at 1801 S. Knoxville takes cardboard, paper, aluminum and steel cans, and glass. The city's curbside page says to follow the recycling calendar from CARDS, whose local numbers are 479-279-0429 and 479-229-2442.
Different from Fort Smith
Arkansas DEQ's list shows a household hazardous waste site at the Fort Smith Landfill in Sebastian County, with weekday and Saturday hours. Pope County has no listing, so the only scheduled option we found for Russellville is the county's fall clean-up. Between clean-ups, call the Road Department at 479-968-6400.
Free pickup programs and other options
Arkansas has no PaintCare program, and PaintCare's locator lists no site in Pope County. Arkansas DEQ's list has no Pope County entry. It does list Green Source Recycling, 24087 Highway 164, Clarksville (Johnson County, 479-754-7475) and the Morrilton Street Department, 709 Fifth Street (Conway County, 501-354-1370), with no hours posted. ADEQ says to check with a center about what it takes, and neither listing says whether Pope County residents can use it, so call first. ADEQ notes some centers run exchanges where usable products are free.
Getting your paint ready
Bring only oil-based paint, spray paint and other hazardous products to the clean-up; leave latex at home. If you bring trash, bag it, as the notice asks. ADEQ's general advice is to keep products in their original containers, clearly labeled. Don't bring tires, concrete, yard waste or medication.

Unresolved: where latex paint should go; whether the clean-up charges a fee or checks residency; whether there's a spring clean-up; 7211 vs 7211B SR 124; whether neighboring-county centers take Pope County residents; whether paint can go in Russellville household trash (no city trash page found).
