Fayetteville moved to weekly cart-based recycling on June 1, 2026, so residents no longer sort at the curb, with one holdout: glass still needs a separate bin. The city runs a Pay-As-You-Throw landfill trash program, which means recycling well shows up directly on the monthly utility bill. Its household hazardous waste trailer is free but deliberately narrow about what it will take.
Weekly cart-based recycling collection launched June 1, 2026. The accepted recyclables stayed the same, but residents no longer have to separate them before taking them to the curb, and drivers no longer sort at the curb. Everything accepted goes into a single larger blue cart, except glass.
Glass must still be recycled in a separate bin at this time rather than in the blue cart.
It can. The city runs a Pay-As-You-Throw landfill trash program, so reducing what you send to the landfill helps reduce your monthly utility bill. The city's stated goal is diverting at least 40 percent of all waste from the landfill.
The trailer at the corner of S. Happy Hollow and 15th St. takes batteries, cleaners, oil-based paints, aerosols, fluorescent light bulbs at a limit of ten per person, sharps, pesticides and fertilizers, automotive and cooking oil, and mercury items. All containers must be labeled and closed. Since December 3, 2025 it has been open Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., excluding city holidays, at no cost. See our household hazardous waste guide.
No tires, electronics, or latex paints. Electronics go to Free Geek or Boston Mountain Solid Waste. Latex paint is not considered household hazardous waste and can go in household trash once completely solid; the city suggests adding an absorbent such as cat litter or sawdust and letting it dry for about an hour first.
