City collection Chairs and couches are named in the bulk household category, along with entertainment centers, lawn furniture in wood or plastic, doors without glass and limited building material, so a couch clears out on the free annual curbside collection or on one of the four free drop-off trips. Carpet goes out in the same category, cut into three rolls of about six feet by six feet. No charge. Free on the one annual curbside collection for single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts, or on one of the four annual Transfer Station drop-offs for city solid waste customers, with the drop-off capped at 1,340 lbs per trip.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are named in the bulk household category and in the allowed items for the free Transfer Station drop-off, so bedding leaves on the annual curbside collection or on one of the four free drop-off trips. No charge. Free on the one annual curbside collection for qualifying households, or through the four annual bulky waste drop-offs for Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers, capped at 1,340 lbs per trip.
City collection Major appliances are in the bulk metal category, and a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler carries a per-unit Freon recovery fee that has to be arranged before collection. Washers, dryers and hot water heaters are in the same category without a published per-item fee, and the city asks that an appliance be separated from the rest of a drop-off load so it can be unloaded. $50 per unit Freon recovery fee for a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler, which the city charges on every unit whether or not the compressor was already removed. Qualifying Fayetteville households on the annual curbside collection or the four annual drop-offs. The Freon unit has to be scheduled through the city's Freon Recovery Request form, and the fee is published; other major appliances in the bulk metal category carry no published per-item fee.
City collection Fayetteville takes bulky waste two ways. A household on the city solid waste account can drive a load to the Transfer Station on four free drop-off trips a year, up to 1,340 lbs per trip, and a single-family home, duplex or townhouse with a trash cart can book one free curbside collection a year. The curbside collection takes one category at a time with up to five items, and the categories are bulk household, bulk metal and bulk brush. No charge. The annual curbside collection is free to single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts, and the four Transfer Station drop-offs are free to Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers with a recent utility bill and a driver's license.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fayetteville gives every qualifying household two ways to clear out large items. Residents on the city solid waste account can drop bulky waste at the Transfer Station four times a year, up to 1,340 lbs per trip, and a single-family home, duplex or townhouse with a trash cart can book one free curbside collection a year. The curbside collection takes one category at a time, up to five items, and the categories are bulk household, bulk metal and bulk brush. Couches, mattresses and major appliances fit those categories, appliances that hold refrigerant carry a per-unit Freon recovery fee, and electronics are excluded from the curbside pickup altogether: they go to Free Geek, to the district collection center in Prairie Grove, or to the division counter during office hours.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The annual curbside collection is free to single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts, and the four Transfer Station drop-offs are free to Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers with a recent utility bill and a driver's license. Additional pick-ups are scheduled for a fee, and businesses, apartments, condos, mobile homes, complexes of three or more units, non-profits and industrial sites are excluded from the free service.
When & how
Call the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398 to schedule the curbside collection, and expect the schedule to be two or more weeks out. The free drop-offs run during Transfer Station hours: Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m.
Get it ready
Put the items out by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day, no more than twelve hours ahead, within five to six feet of the curb and at least four feet from any other object, never under power lines or tree limbs and never blocking a street, sidewalk or ditch line. Only the items that were scheduled are removed.
Chairs and couches are named in the bulk household category, along with entertainment centers, lawn furniture in wood or plastic, doors without glass and limited building material, so a couch clears out on the free annual curbside collection or on one of the four free drop-off trips. Carpet goes out in the same category, cut into three rolls of about six feet by six feet.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on the one annual curbside collection for single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts, or on one of the four annual Transfer Station drop-offs for city solid waste customers, with the drop-off capped at 1,340 lbs per trip.
When & how
Book the curbside collection through the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398, or drive the items to the Transfer Station during its open hours on one of the four free drop-off trips.
Get it ready
Set the furniture out by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day within five to six feet of the curb, on the ground and at least four feet from any other object. Ceramic toilets and ceramic sinks, cast iron tubs and treated lumber are not part of this category.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the bulk household category and in the allowed items for the free Transfer Station drop-off, so bedding leaves on the annual curbside collection or on one of the four free drop-off trips.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on the one annual curbside collection for qualifying households, or through the four annual bulky waste drop-offs for Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers, capped at 1,340 lbs per trip.
When & how
Book the curbside collection in advance at 479-575-8398, or take the unit to the Transfer Station on one of the four free drop-off trips during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and put it on the ground at the curb by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day, within five to six feet of the curb and clear of power lines, tree limbs and other objects. Only the items that were scheduled will be removed.
Major appliances are in the bulk metal category, and a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler carries a per-unit Freon recovery fee that has to be arranged before collection. Washers, dryers and hot water heaters are in the same category without a published per-item fee, and the city asks that an appliance be separated from the rest of a drop-off load so it can be unloaded.
City cost & eligibility
$50 per unit Freon recovery fee for a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler, which the city charges on every unit whether or not the compressor was already removed. Qualifying Fayetteville households on the annual curbside collection or the four annual drop-offs. The Freon unit has to be scheduled through the city's Freon Recovery Request form, and the fee is published; other major appliances in the bulk metal category carry no published per-item fee.
When & how
File the Freon Recovery Request form and let a staff member schedule the pickup, since the appliance cannot simply go out with the annual collection. The Transfer Station hours for a drop-off are Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit of all organic contents, separate an appliance from the rest of a drop-off load, and expect personal information to be collected before a drop-off accepts an appliance. Refrigerated units are the ones that need the recovery appointment.
Electronics are excluded from the bulk metal category and are not accepted with bulk collections, so a television or computer cannot go out with the annual curbside pickup. The city sends them to Free Geek, to the Boston Mountain Solid Waste collection center in Prairie Grove, or to the Recycling and Trash Collection office counter. Small quantities of e-waste are accepted at the Transfer Station when a household uses one of its four bulky waste drop-offs.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no fee for electronics. Small quantities are free on a bulky waste drop-off trip at the Transfer Station, the district center in Prairie Grove says some items carry a small fee, and the division counter and Free Geek set their own terms, so confirm before loading a vehicle.
When & how
Take electronics to the division office at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., to the Transfer Station during one of the four free bulky drop-off trips, or to the Prairie Grove collection center Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. or Saturday 8 to 11 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors, computers and microwaves out of the bulk metal category and off the curbside pile, wipe personal data before handover, and take only small items or small quantities to a Transfer Station drop-off because the city limits e-waste there.
Limited building material, drywall, paneling, carpet and vinyl flooring appear on the city's allowed drop-off list and in the bulk household category, but the city caps the household amount and refuses contractor loads outright. Treated lumber, railroad ties, tree stumps and concrete slabs are excluded, so a renovation load that does not fit the household allowance has to go over the Transfer Station scale instead.
City cost & eligibility
From $50 per load at the Transfer Station scale, where the published disposal minimum charge applies to a load and residential landfill waste is billed per ton above the minimum load weight, while material that fits the free bulky waste drop-off carries no charge. Fayetteville solid waste customers on a bulky waste drop-off trip are free within the 1,340 lbs per-trip limit, with no contractor loads allowed. Anything heavier or from a contractor is weighed at the gate, and non-residential or outside-city loads carry a higher published per-ton rate.
When & how
Use one of the four free drop-off trips at the Transfer Station for a household load, or bring a heavier load over the scale during Transfer Station hours, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m.
Get it ready
Pull onto the scale first and weigh in, unload where staff direct, then weigh out and pay, because the station bills the difference. Keep treated lumber, railroad ties, tree stumps and concrete slabs out of the load, and keep a contractor's material off the free drop-off entirely.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk household category, the bulk metal category, the bulk brush category or the drop-off allowed list, so there is no published answer. A machine with a metal frame is not an appliance and not listed metal, and a padded or wooden machine is not one of the household examples.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Confirm whether the machine fits a bulk category and what it would cost by calling the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398 before setting it out or loading it.
When & how
Call the division at 479-575-8398 with the machine type before the collection day, since the free annual pickup runs on a published category list that does not name exercise equipment.
Get it ready
Describe the frame material and the size when you call, remove any battery or console so it can be handled separately, and keep the machine off the curb until the office confirms which category it falls in.
Items for the annual bulky collection go out by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day, and the city says the night before is fine but no more than twelve hours ahead. The pile sits within five to six feet of the curb and at least four feet from any other object, never under power lines or tree limbs and never blocking a street, sidewalk or ditch line, and everything goes on the ground rather than in a container. Only the items that were scheduled are removed, so anything left behind stays the household's responsibility.
The free annual collection takes a single category at a time, with up to five items in that category, and the three published categories are bulk household, bulk metal and bulk brush. A refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler sits in the metal category but still needs the separate Freon recovery appointment, and brush is limited to three standard pick-up-truck loads with limbs no longer than 12 feet and no more than twelve inches in diameter.
The free drop-offs run on a utility bill and a driver's license
A household using one of the four annual bulky waste drop-offs brings a recent Fayetteville utility bill and a valid driver's license, and each trip is capped at 1,340 lbs. The service is only for Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers, so a non-resident water customer who does not pay for solid waste service is not eligible, and apartments, condos, mobile homes, complexes of three or more units, businesses, non-profits and industrial sites are excluded from the free pickup as well.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

A single-family home, duplex or townhouse with a city trash cart that has a couch, a mattress, a major appliance or up to five items from one bulk category to clear out.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One free collection a year for a qualifying household with a trash cart. Businesses, apartments, condos, mobile homes, complexes of three or more units, non-profits and industrial sites are excluded.
Arrange it
Call the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398 to schedule, and expect a date two or more weeks out. File the Freon Recovery Request form first if the load includes a refrigerated appliance.
One category per collection with up to five items, so a mixed pile is not taken, and a rescheduling fee applies if the items are not out for the appointment.
City of Fayetteville Recycling and Trash Collection
Schedule an additional bulky pick-up
A qualifying household that has already used its free collection for the year and still has up to five items from one category to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $73.5 per additional bulky waste pick-up, at the city's published bulk pickup minimum charge, with a rescheduling fee applied to a missed appointment. Qualifying single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts. The city confirms the exact charge when the pick-up is booked.
Arrange it
Call the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398 to schedule the extra collection, and add the Freon recovery appointment if the load includes a refrigerated appliance.
The additional collection follows the same one category and five item limits as the free one, and the city notes that a missed appointment carries a rescheduling fee.
City of Fayetteville Recycling and Trash Collection
Use one of the four free drop-off trips
A city solid waste customer with a vehicle who would rather move the load than wait for a collection date, including small quantities of electronic waste.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Four free drop-offs a year for Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers, with a recent utility bill and a valid driver's license at the gate and a limit of 1,340 lbs per trip.
Arrange it
Take the load to the Transfer Station at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Rd. during its open hours, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m., and unload it within those hours.
Garbage, leaves, grass, dirt, rocks, tires, medical waste and hazardous waste are refused at the drop-off, contractor loads are not allowed, and a household with a water account that does not pay for solid waste service is not eligible.
City of Fayetteville Recycling and Trash Collection
Weigh a larger load at the Transfer Station
A household or contractor with a load that is too heavy for the free drop-off cap or that the drop-off does not cover, such as a larger renovation load.
Cost & conditions
From $50 per load at the Transfer Station scale, where the published disposal minimum charge applies and residential landfill waste is billed per ton above the minimum load weight. Residents and non-residents at the gate; residential landfill waste carries the published residential rate while non-residential or outside-city loads carry a higher published per-ton rate.
Arrange it
Pull up to the scale house to weigh in, unload where staff direct, and weigh out again to settle the charge, inside the station hours of Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m.
All loads have to be unloaded within the listed hours, and staff direct where each load goes, so a load that contains regulated material can be turned away at the gate.
A household with a television, a computer, a printer, a stereo or another electronic item that the curbside bulky collection refuses.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no electronics fee. Small quantities are free on a bulky waste drop-off trip, the district center says some items carry a small fee, and Free Geek and the division counter set their own terms, so confirm before loading.
Arrange it
Choose the outlet that fits the item: the Recycling and Trash Collection counter at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road on weekdays, the Transfer Station during a free bulky drop-off trip, or the Boston Mountain center at 11398 Bond Road in Prairie Grove.
Electronics cannot go in the bulk metal pile or the curbside bulk collection, the Prairie Grove center is outside Fayetteville, and a Transfer Station drop-off takes only small items or small quantities of e-waste.
City transfer station that hosts the four free bulky waste drop-offs and weighs larger loads
Fayetteville Trash Transfer Station
1560 S. Happy Hollow Rd., Fayetteville, AR 72701
Bulky waste on the four free drop-off trips, including couches, chairs, mattresses, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, carpet, vinyl flooring, drywall, limited paneling, air conditioners, water coolers, freezers, refrigerators and small quantities of e-waste, plus general municipal waste weighed at the gate.
A residential drop-off needs a recent Fayetteville utility bill and a valid driver's license, is limited to 1,340 lbs per trip, and is closed to non-resident water customers who do not pay for solid waste service. Garbage, leaves, grass, dirt, rocks, tires, medical waste, hazardous waste and contractor loads are refused. Refrigerated appliances need the Freon recovery process, and all loads must be unloaded within the posted hours.
Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m.
From $50 per load at the station scale, where the published disposal minimum charge applies and residential landfill waste is billed per ton above the minimum load weight while a qualifying bulky waste drop-off is free. The four bulky waste drop-offs are free to Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers. Loads that do not qualify are weighed at the gate, and non-residential or outside-city loads carry a higher published per-ton rate.
District household hazardous waste collection center that takes electronics and other material the city refuses
Boston Mountain Solid Waste Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center
11398 Bond Road, Prairie Grove, AR
Automotive and cooking oils, batteries, aerosol cans, light bulbs, electronics, cleaning chemicals, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, mercury items, sharps in a rigid container, oil based paint and paint materials, scrap metal and tires.
The center is operated by the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District outside Fayetteville and it states that some items carry a small fee, so confirm the terms for the exact item before driving there. Sharps have to arrive in a rigid container.
Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 to 11 a.m.
The district states that residents can drop many items free or for a small fee and does not publish a per-item price list on the page the city links, so confirm the charge for the exact item before the trip.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How does bulky waste pickup work in Fayetteville?+
A qualifying household books one free curbside collection a year by calling the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398, and the crew takes one category of items, up to five items in that category. The categories are bulk household, bulk metal and bulk brush, and a household can give up the free pickup in exchange for a fifth free drop-off trip at the Transfer Station instead.Official guidance
Will the city take a couch from the curb in Fayetteville?+
Yes, on the free bulky waste collection that each qualifying household gets once a year, booked in advance with the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398. Couches and chairs are in the bulk household category, which allows up to five items, so a couch goes out with that collection rather than with the weekly trash cart.Official guidance
Will Fayetteville collect a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. A mattress and a box spring are both listed in the bulk household category and in the allowed items for the free drop-off, so either one can leave on the single free curbside collection a household books each year, or on one of the four annual drop-off trips at the Transfer Station. Book the pickup first at 479-575-8398.Official guidance
What does Fayetteville charge to take a refrigerator?+
A refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler carries a published per-unit Freon recovery fee that the city applies to every unit, whether or not the compressor was already removed. The unit is scheduled through the Freon Recovery Request form rather than set out with the ordinary collection, and other major appliances sit in the bulk metal category without a published per-item fee.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Fayetteville?+
Not in the curbside bulky collection, which refuses electronics. The city points residents to Free Geek, to the Boston Mountain Solid Waste collection center at 11398 Bond Road in Prairie Grove, or to the Recycling and Trash Collection office counter on weekdays, and small quantities of e-waste are also taken during one of the four annual bulky waste drop-off trips at the Transfer Station.Official guidance
Who runs bulky waste collection in Fayetteville?+
The City of Fayetteville Recycling and Trash Collection division runs both routes: four free drop-offs a year at the Trash Transfer Station on S. Happy Hollow Road, and one free curbside collection a year for single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts. The division answers at 479-575-8398 and is at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road.Official guidance
How many free bulky waste pickups do I get each year?+
One, and only for single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with city trash carts. The collection has to be booked in advance at 479-575-8398, it takes one category of items with up to five items in that category, and further collections can be scheduled for a fee. A household can also give up the free pickup in exchange for a fifth free drop-off trip.Official guidance
How many free drop-off trips do Fayetteville residents get?+
Four a year, or five if the household gives up its free curbside collection. Each trip is limited to 1,340 lbs and needs a recent Fayetteville utility bill and a valid driver's license, and the service is only for residents who pay for solid waste service, so a water customer who does not pay for solid waste is not eligible.Official guidance
Can an apartment or condo use the free bulky waste service?+
No. The free pickup is limited to single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts, and the city excludes apartments, condos, mobile homes, complexes of three or more units, businesses, non-profits and industrial sites from the service. A household in one of those buildings has to arrange disposal privately or check whether the property manager offers a route.Official guidance
