The Maumelle Transfer Station/ Recycle Drop off Collection Facility is currently under construction. Please follow the red arrows to our temporary site at 600 Hyman Drive. We are trying to stay open during the renovation of our facility. Currently we are located in the Public Works parking lot. Be forewarned that it is not as convenient to drop off waste. Since the waste is 40 yd containers, one will have to walk up a set of stairs approximately 10 feet high to reach the top of the container. We thank you for your compliance and support through the inconvenience that construction causes.

The City of Maumelle Supports the 2010 United States Census!

What is the Census?

When we all answer the Census, our needs are heard.

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.

The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:

Hospitals
Job training centers
Schools
Senior centers
Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
Emergency services

The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.

We can't move forward until you mail it back.

In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form.

The majority of the country will receive English–only materials. Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form.

Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law.
