2009 Spring Bulky Waste Clean Ups Announced

03/10/2009

Bulky Waste Clean Ups are for disposal / recycling of large bulky items

The City of Fayetteville conducts 9 Bulky Waste Clean Ups around the City each year with 5 in the Spring and 4 in the Fall.  Each Ward in the City hosts two clean ups a year and the Solid Waste and Recycling Division hosts a clean up at the Solid Waste and Recycling Facility around Earth Day each year to honor that day.  These bulky waste clean ups are specifically for large bulky items that cannot fit into a residents normal trash cart.  These clean ups will not accept bags of normal household garbage as that is handled through normal weekly curbside collection.  There are certain things that will not be accepted at the clean ups which are outlined with this information.  If you are a resident of Fayetteville you can bring bulky items to any of the clean ups.  Please have identification to verify residency.

If you would like to organize a neighborhood clean-up utilizing orange bags for litter disposal please contact Brian Pugh at 718-7685 or bpugh@ci.fayetteville.ar.us.
