Residents of Garland County, Arkansas, can now pay their sanitation bills with a credit or debit card online at www.ar.gov/garlandsanitation and in person at the Sanitation Department.

Customers paying online can look up their account number, make partial payments, and make future payments by paying more than the amount currently due.

“Payments online increase our customer service and give the convenience and option to either pay online or come into the office,” Garland County Department of Environmental Services Supervisor Angie Covey said. “We strive for customer service and work hard on being able to use the technology given to us. Our Garland County trash collections help provide the service needed to help keep our county clean.”

The Garland County Sanitation Department partnered with the Information Network of Arkansas (INA) to bring this convenient payment service to more than 22,000 customers. INA provided the encrypted card swipe devices, the new online system, its payment module, reporting tools, and ongoing system maintenance at no cost to the county.
