Information about the revised Bulky Pickup Ordinance:
As of July 1, 2011 each residential address is allowed six free pickups per fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). Each additional pickup is $50. This includes yard waste and household bulky pickups.

Owner-generated construction debris will be collected for a $50 fee. Contractor-generated debris will not be collected.

A cubic yard is the volume of a box that is 1 yard long, 1 yard wide and 1 yard high. The revised ordinance allows the Environmental Services Department to charge a fee of $357 for each full load of yard waste debris (20 cubic yards or more). There is no fee for loads less than 20 cubic yards or 540 cubic feet respectively.

This is a pre-paid service. Residents should schedule a pickup through the Call Center at 433-1FAY (1329). Payments will be accepted in person at 455 Grove Street, or can be mailed to the City of Fayetteville, 455 Grove Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301. We accept cash, checks and most major cards. For your convenience, we will accept credit card payments by phone.
