Bulky waste cleanups scheduled for this fall

FAYETTEVILLE — Residents will have a few opportunities this fall to discard their big, bulky trash items that won’t fit in a regular trash can.

Each ward of the city will have a designated time and place in which to get rid of bulky waste. Bulk items also can be dropped off at the city’s recycling and trash facility at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road.

Dates and locations are as follows:

■ Ward 3: Oct. 27, Vandergriff Elementary School, 2200 N. Vandergriff Drive

■ Ward 4: Nov. 3, Owl Creek School, 375 N. Rupple Road

All cleanup times are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Paper shredding will be offered at the Happy Hollow facility 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 27.

The service is offered only to Fayetteville residents with proof of residency.

Acceptable items include artificial Christmas trees, chairs and couches, entertainment centers, hot tub covers, landscape timbers (10 only), mattresses and box springs, sinks and tubs (excluding cast iron), lawn furniture, doors (no glass), swing sets (wooden only), building materials (limited), carpet (up to three 6x6 rolls), major appliances, lawnmowers, weed eaters, and tillers, mailboxes and poles (all concrete must be removed), old metal trashcans (must be empty), bulk brush and tree limbs.
