Springtime bulky waste cleanups scheduled in Fayetteville
Need to get rid of that busted, 70s model JCPenney oven that’s been sitting in your carport since you finally became so fed up that you replaced it with something that wouldn’t burn every single dish you try to cook in it?
I know I do.
City officials today released the Spring 2011 ward cleanup schedule for the disposal of large bulky waste items.
The free cleanup events are specifically for large, bulky items that cannot fit into a normal trash cart. Bags of normal household garbage are not accepted.
If you are a resident of Fayetteville, you can bring bulky items to any of the clean ups, regardless of which ward you live in. Just bring a recent copy of your water bill to verify residency.
