Quick answer
Fayetteville combines a limited bulky-item allowance with its B-week yard-waste schedule. Current City guidance allows up to five qualifying bulky items at no extra charge during that collection.
Who qualifies matters. Eligible City residential solid-waste customers; larger set-outs use the City's paid route.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
Furniture and other ordinary oversized household goods can use the bulky route. Larger quantities can trigger a paid pickup, while metal items use a separate Wednesday collection that must be scheduled.
Household hazardous waste and other special material
Electronics, household hazardous waste and other special materials should be kept out of the ordinary bulky pile and taken through the appropriate City or Cumberland County program.
Where to take large items in Fayetteville
Confirm the Fayetteville pickup date, item limits and preparation rules before setting anything out.
Before set-out
Check whether the address is on its B-week collection and count the items before set-out. If there are more than five items or the item is metal, use the City's scheduling/payment instructions instead of leaving an oversized pile.
- Confirm the service address and the agency or hauler responsible for it.
- Check whether the bulky route requires an appointment, assigned week, sticker, fee or volume limit.
