Need to get rid of an old appliance or something too large to fit into a residential trash bin?
The third of four planned bulky waste clean up events this spring is set for Saturday, April 19 at two locations; Shaver Foods parking lot behind Randall Tyson Track complex (1367 S. Beechwood Ave.) and Fayetteville Recycling & Trash Collection facility (1560 S. Happy Hollow Road).
Crews will accept bulky items from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both locations.
There are a few limitations on what can be accepted at the cleanups:
Items allowed: Furniture, such as couches, chairs and mattresses; large appliances, such as refrigerators, stoves, lawn mowers, hot water heaters, washers and dryers; and renovation materials, such as carpet, padding, vinyl flooring, drywall and paneling (limited amounts only, no contractors allowed).
Items not allowed: Electronic items, such as TVs and computers, household hazardous items, such as medical waste, paint, thinners, solvents, batteries, cleaning chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, tires and automotive fluids; household or commercial garbage; and yard waste, such as limbs, brush, leaves and grass.
Residents may dispose of one freon-bearing appliance for free. Additional freon-bearing appliances may be disposed for $20 each.
Electronic waste items may be dropped off at the Washington County Household Hazardous Waste facility, 2615 Brink Drive, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Yard waste can be taken to the city’s compost facility, 1708 S. Armstrong Ave, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and from 8 a.m. to noon the first Saturday of each month.
If you miss this Saturday’s event, the final bulky waste clean up of the spring is set for May 3 at Church of Christ (310 W. Center St.) and the Fayetteville Recycling & Trash Collection facility (1560 S. Happy Hollow Road).
