LRS has an update to share about solid waste pick up this week:

This is an important message from LRS/GFL, the City’s solid waste service provider.

Due to recent weather, solid waste services were impacted last week. For the week of February 2, LRS/GFL will collect additional waste accumulated from the prior week for affected customers.

To ensure service:

Place all carts and any extra bagged trash or recycling at the curb by 6 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day, or the night before.

Please ensure containers are not blocked by snow.

Extra bags should be placed next to your cart.

Because of the increased volume expected at the curb, collection times may vary, and routes may be adjusted throughout the week. Residents may experience delays or changes from their usual pickup time.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as crews work through the increased volume. (File photo)

Did you know you can easily get a message to the City? Have a pothole or street light out in your neighborhood? Let the right people know who can do something about it.

Thanks to the crews who worked 24/7 to clear highways and streets for our community. Here are a few shots from City Hall.

North Arkansas Partnership for Health Education (NAPHE) staff members, Kyle Evatt (left) and Sherri Hinrichs, present a 911 flag to the Harrison Fire Department. Fire Chief Marc Lowery and Battalion Chief Jake Waldon accepted the gift with pride. The framed presentation has the names of each individual who died on 911 in letters that make up the red stripes of the flag.

The Great Arkansas Treasure Hunt mobile office will be in Harrison on Tuesday, Feb. 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. See if you are owed money by following the link: https://www.claimitar.gov/
