Recycling Drop-Off Site

The City of Fayetteville provides a free 24 hour Community Recycling Drop-Off located at 1420 S. Happy Hollow Road for residents to use for recycling items from their waste stream. This service is provided as a convenience to our residents and is utilized frequently. It is very important to remember that this drop-off area is for recyclables ONLY! This area is NOT designed to collect hazardous waste (paints, oils, cleaners and other home chemicals), large bulky items (furniture and appliances), or electrical items (T.V’s, computers, radios, microwaves, VCR’s). Most of those items can be taken to the Washington County Household Hazardous Waste facility for free or a small charge. Washington County can be reached at (479) 444-1725. It is illegal to drop-off items other than the recyclable materials collected on site. There is a $1000 fine for illegally dropping unauthorized items at the site. See the list below for items collected for recycling at this site.

The Recycling Drop Off is now accepting additional plastics!  Recently a domestic market for all plastic bottles and containers #3 through #7 has been found.  We can now recycle these plastics through our drop off.  We are not able to collect the #3 through #7 plastics through our curbside program at this time.  Please bring the #3 through #7 plastics to the recycling drop off for proper recycling.
