Very Important!!! Please read!!! The City of Fayetteville operates a Pay-As-You-Throw trash program for residential customers. With this system, residents are charged based on the size container they select.  Please make sure to sign up for the correct size cart for your residence. More information on each size cart can be found by clicking here.

Very Important!!! Please read!!! With the Pay-As-You-Throw program the city charges $6 per each extra bag of trash placed out of the cart for collection. Each residence receives four free stickers each year to use with the program. Extra stickers are available for $6 each from the Solid Waste and Recycling Division. Bags collected without stickers will be charged the $6 per bag on your monthly bill.

Very Important!!! Please read!!! All lids on the carts must be closed completely or a $6 charge for each visible bag sticking out of the cart will be charged to the resident. It is much cheaper to get the correct sized cart for your residence than it is to be charged for each extra bag placed above the rim of the cart.  Please choose your cart size wisely.
