Saturday Marks First Spring Cleanup

FAYETTEVILLE — The first of four spring bulky waste cleanups is scheduled Saturday.

Residents can dispose of furniture, large appliances, carpet, drywall and other large items for free from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two locations: Owl Creek School, 375 N. Rupple Road, and Holcomb Elementary School, 2900 N. Salem Road.

Residents are asked to bring a recent copy of their water bill to prove where they live.
