Supreme Court of Arkansas

Steven Hedrick and X-Dumpsters v. City of Holiday Island

December 4, 20252025 Ark. 194

Summary

The court held that the Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act does not authorize Holiday Island to exclude otherwise lawful supplemental waste-removal providers merely because the city contracted with another provider. Because the city lacked statutory authority to enact the exclusionary portion of its ordinance, the court reversed the dismissal and remanded without reaching the constitutional monopoly issue.
