The two remaining spring bulky waste cleanups have been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
No dates have been set yet, but officials said the plan is to hold the two events later this summer. The locations are expected to remain the same as previously planned.
At each of the events, crews accept bulky items too large to fit into regular trash bins.
Residents are asked to bring a copy of a recent water bill to verify Fayetteville residency.
There are limitations on what can be accepted at the cleanups:
Items allowed: Furniture, such as couches, chairs and mattresses; appliances and tools, such as refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, lawnmowers and weedeaters; and renovation materials, such as carpet, padding, vinyl flooring, plumbing and lighting fixtures, drywall and paneling (limited amounts only – no contractors allowed). One (1) freon-bearing appliance is accepted for free, per household. Additional appliances are $20 each to cover freon removal.
Items not allowed: Household garbage, commercial garbage, medical waste, dirt, rocks, leaves & grass, tires, and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) such as batteries, solvents, paint, pesticides, herbicides, automotive fluids, cleaning chemicals, etc.
E-waste will be accepted at the Happy Hollow location during each of the cleanups. Acceptable items include computers, printers, copiers, paper shredders, fax machines, phones, microwaves, stereos, televisions, electronic cable, DVD and VCR players, video game consoles, satellite receivers and hand-held devices such as PDAs, iPods, etc.
