Collection Delays

The Solid Waste Division makes every effort to pick up all approved items on your regular collection day. However, there may be uncontrollable circumstances that can prevent this from happening. If you feel your items were not collected on your regular collection day, by a certain time, please continue to leave those items out at the curb. Our Solid Waste professionals will collect items either that day at a later time, or by the end of the next collection day.

If you have any questions regarding your collection, or if your items have not been collected by the end of the next collection day, please reach out to the call center at 910-433-1329.

Loose Leaf Collection

The City of Fayetteville's loose-leaf collection program is operated by Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks & Recreation. It is a great service for residents during the fall season. 

Instructions (only during Loose Leaf collection season)

  • Rake your leaves and pine straw curbside by the day prior to your first scheduled day of pickup 
  • Bad weather may cause delays
  • Leaves and pine straw only - no tree limbs
  • Place leaves and pine straw behind the curb away from storm drains and out of the road. Leaves and pine straw left in the street can cause stormwater pollution and may obstruct the storm drainage system.
