Solid waste is generated inside the normal household setting and includes many items that can fit inside the rollout container. Small miscellaneous items such as dishes are considered solid waste. Small pieces of carpet which can fit into one rollout cart is also considered solid waste.  Please place recyclable items in the blue cart assigned to your residence or take to a drop-off point.  For more information on recycling, please click here.

Electronics are now banned from the landfill by state law. Please take them to the Ann Street Landfill, bring them to the Environmental Services Department at 455 Grove Street or call 433-1329 for pickup of your electronics.

The following guidelines apply for pickup:

• City Ordinance now requires the use of a City-approved cart. Additional containers or bags of trash not in the City cart will not be collected. Please do not place loose garbage in the cart.

• Must be curbside for collection no later than 7 a.m. on the day of service

• Yard waste and solid waste must not be combined at any time

• When disposing of your cat litter and dog waste, please double bag the waste before placing it in your garbage container for pickup

• Carts are assigned to specific addresses and remain at the address even if occupants move to another location within the city. Each household is authorized only one cart and it remains the property of the City of Fayetteville

• Carts that have been emptied must be removed from curbside the same day they are serviced. Failure to do so could result in a fine

• Please bag household trash before placing in container.  This helps keep loose trash from being scattered in the roadway.
