A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky items and household junk

Accepted with preparation

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.

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The curb pile follows a tight set-out window

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.

Bulky waste page covering the four free drop-offs, the one free annual pickup, the three pickup categories, the allowed and refused drop-off items, the Freon appliance process and the set-out rules

One category per pickup, up to five items

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.

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

The self-haul route in Fayetteville is the Trash Transfer Station at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Rd., open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m. A qualifying household uses four free bulky waste drop-offs a year there, up to 1,340 lbs per trip, with a recent utility bill and a driver's license at the gate, and the allowed list covers 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. Everything else goes over the scale, where the published disposal minimum charge applies and residential landfill waste is billed per ton, and the load is weighed on the way in and again on the way out. Refrigerated appliances need the Freon recovery appointment and the published per-unit fee. Electronics are refused in the curbside bulk collection and are directed to Free Geek, the district center at 11398 Bond Road in Prairie Grove, or the division counter at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road on weekdays. Household chemicals go to the city's hazardous waste trailer at the corner of S. Happy Hollow and 15th St., which takes them free on its posted days but refuses tires, electronics and latex paint.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fayetteville.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Fayetteville?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

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

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.

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
