There will also be a free Paper Shredding event located at the Solid Waste and Recycling facility (1560 S.

If you are a resident of Fayetteville, you can bring bulky items to any of the clean ups since they are all citywide bulky item clean ups.  Please bring a recent copy of your water bill to verify your residency.  These bulky waste clean ups are specifically for large bulky items that cannot fit into a residents normal trash cart.  There are limitations on what can be accepted, see below for details on the requirements.

Items allowed:       Couches, chairs, mattresses, large appliances; such as, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, carpet, padding, vinyl flooring, drywall, paneling (Limited amounts only, no contractors allowed), lawn mowers, hot water heaters, plumbing fixtures. 

Items not allowed:   Household Hazardous Wastes; such as, paint, thinners, solvents, batteries, cleaning chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, automotive fluids, etc., household garbage, commercial garbage, medical waste, dirt, rocks, brush, leaves and grass, tires.

These clean ups will not accept bags of normal household garbage, as that is handled through normal weekly curbside collection.  Limit one (1) Freon-bearing appliance per household since only one Freon-bearing appliance is accepted for free.  Additional appliances are $20 each to cover Freon removal.

E-Scrap is no longer accepted at these clean ups.  Due to costs beyond our control, we are no longer able to accept E-Scrap for recycling (including T.V.’s, computers, etc.) at Ward Bulky Waste Clean Ups.  The Washington County’s HHW facility accepts E-Scrap for a fee during normal operating hours.  Please contact them at 444-1725.
