Recycling and Trash Collection Memorial Day Holiday Schedule and Household Hazardous Waste Trailer Program

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — On Monday, May 31, City departments, including the Recycling and Trash Collections office and TStation, will be closed to the public for the Memorial Day holiday. Collections for commercial and residential trash, commercial and curbside recycling and yard waste collection will run on the normal schedules and are not affected by the holiday.

The City is excited to announce a new service for collection of household hazardous waste. Beginning Thursday, June 3, in partnership with the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District, there will be a household hazardous waste drop-off trailer available at the Happy Hollow Recycling Drop-Off site on the corner of 15^th St. and Happy Hollow Road. Drop-off will be available from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., except for holidays.

Household hazardous waste will be accepted from Fayetteville residents for no fee. Please bring a water bill or other proof of residency. Acceptable items include batteries, fluorescent light bulbs (max 10), cooking and automotive oil (brought in jugs that can be dropped off), aerosols, pesticides and fertilizers, cleaners, oil-based paint, mercury items and sharps. No tires or latex paints will be accepted. For more information, visit the Boston Mountain website at https://www.bostonmountain.org/household-hazardous-waste.

Boston Mountain operates a year-round Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Center, and a tire drop-off trailer at 11398 Bond Road in Prairie Grove. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 to 11 a.m. The Collection Center’s phone number is 479-846-3005.
