City of Pine Bluff Free Dump Day 2026: Dates, Location and Rules

When and where

The most recent announced City of Pine Bluff free dump day is Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until the bins are full, at Hestand Stadium, 420 North Blake Street, according to Deltaplex News. Earlier 2026 events were announced for the same stadium and hours, including June 6 and the rescheduled August 1 date.

In early August 2026, the Pine Bluff City Council designated the first Saturday of each month as an official citywide cleanup and dump day, as reported by Deltaplex News. The resolution says locations, hours and the list of prohibited materials will be announced before each event, so treat every month as its own announcement.

Upcoming 2026 dates: what's confirmed

As of October 3, 2026, we haven't found an official announcement for the November or December events. If the first-Saturday schedule holds, those would fall on November 7 and December 5, 2026. Those are calendar dates, not announced events. Plans can change. The July 2026 dump day was postponed to August 1 because of equipment repairs. A June 2026 notice reported by Deltaplex News also said the event isn't held when the first Saturday falls on a holiday.

To confirm the next date, watch the city's announcements and local news in the week before, or call the Street Department (details below).

What you can bring

The October 2026 announcement listed items from a normal household cleanout:

• Furniture, including couches, recliners, chairs, tables, desks, dressers, nightstands and bed frames
• Mattresses and box springs
• Household appliances
• Carpet, rugs, shelving, filing cabinets and plastic toys
• Limbs and brush under 10 inches in diameter, plus small amounts of homeowner wood debris

What gets turned away

• Electronics, such as TVs, computers and printers
• Tires and batteries
• Paint, chemicals, and medical or hazardous waste
• Household trash bags
• Roofing shingles, construction and demolition debris, and drywall
• Concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt, sand and gravel
• Railroad ties and asbestos
• Commercial or business waste

The city can inspect loads and reject a load that mixes accepted and prohibited items. So sort before you drive over.

Rules to know

• City residents only. Bring ID, since it may be checked.
• One or two loads per household. No contractors and no large commercial trailers.
• Unload it yourself in the marked areas and follow staff directions.
• Don't leave anything at the stadium outside event hours. The council resolution warns that leaving prohibited material can bring illegal dumping or littering charges.
• The city says it isn't responsible for damage to vehicles or trailers.
