Solid waste is generated inside the normal household setting and includes food waste, cans, bottles, clothing, and plastics. Small miscellaneous items such as lamps, clocks and dishes are considered solid waste. Small pieces of carpet which can fit into one roll-out cart is also considered solid waste.
The following guidelines apply for pickup:
- Must be curbside for collection no later than 7 a.m. on the day of service.
- Yard trash and solid waste must not be combined at any time.
- When disposing of your cat liter 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.
