Hazardous Materials, Tires, & Electronics

The City of Fayetteville Solid Waste & Recycling Division knows the importance of recycling or properly diposing of hazardous waste, electronics, and tires and would like citizens to know that they have an alternative to dispose of these materials legally. Never dispose of hazardous items in the trash, down drains and sewers, or into the environment. They contain corrosive and poisonous chemicals that are unsafe for humans, animals, and our environment.

The Washington County Environmental Affairs, located at 2615 Brink Drive in Fayetteville, operates a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Center where residents can drop off HHW for free. The hours of operation are Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m and the first Saturday of each month from 8:00 am to noon.
