In 2015, Cave City joined forces with the White River Regional Solid Waste Management District to bring a first-ever recycling service to our residents. This is part of our larger "Clean Up Cave City" initiative, which also includes yearly Citywide Cleanup events.
January 1, 2023: Indepdence County has suspended the non-electronics recycling trailer program until further notice. Please do not bring cardboard or other items to City Hall at this time. We will update residents if this changes, and the program is reinstated.
We do still have the Electronic Waste trailer available, located behind the old City Hall (120 E Spring St.) Give us a call at (870) 283-5455 during business hours so it can be unlocked and available for you.
