Northwest Arkansas covers two distinct cities with different waste programs. Fayetteville runs a city-operated Pay-As-You-Throw system with 1 free curbside bulky-waste pickup per year plus 4 free Transfer Station drop-offs. Bentonville uses Republic Services with appointment-based bulk pickup (fees may apply). Both cities have strong recycling programs and are served by Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Arkansas for donations. This guide covers disposal options for both cities.
The Fayetteville / Bentonville rule for dishwashers: Dishwashers are metal appliances for the Wednesday scheduled collection. Uninstall first.
Program basics: 5 bulky items per B-week collection at no charge; 6 or more is a paid scheduled collection. Appliances and furniture must be emptied with doors secured or removed. At the curb at least 4 feet from any other object, not in the road or under trees, power lines, or near mailboxes, cars, and fences. Nothing mixed with other waste.
What the city will not take: Tires (up to 5 per household with rims removed are accepted at the Ann Street Landfill), electronics (computers, TVs, printers, stereos), and hazardous waste.

Why dishwashers are different from ordinary bulk. Dishwashers are usually replaced as part of a kitchen project, which means the old one often ends up sitting in a garage because nobody planned its exit. Because they are lighter than other appliances, two people can carry one to the curb, but the uninstall involves three connections (power, water, drain) and any of them done wrong can flood a cabinet.
Three mistakes that get dishwashers left at the curb:
Paid options are rarely needed for a dishwasher alone, but they make sense when it is part of a larger kitchen cleanout or when nobody is available to carry it.
Self-haul to a transfer station
Free to $20A dishwasher fits in most SUVs with the seats down. County transfer stations accept it as an appliance or bulky item, sometimes with a small fee.
Lay a tarp down. Even a drained dishwasher drips from the sump for a day.

Can a dishwasher go out with bulk trash?
In most cities, yes. Dishwashers are usually treated as a standard large item or a non-refrigerant appliance. Confirm the local rule in the directory below and whether a separate appliance appointment is required.
Does a dishwasher contain refrigerant or anything hazardous?
No. Dishwashers have no refrigerant and no regulated components. Some older models have a small mercury-free float switch and a capacitor; both are routine for recyclers.
How do I disconnect a built-in dishwasher?
Turn off the breaker and confirm power is off. Shut the hot water stop under the sink and disconnect the supply line. Disconnect the drain hose at the disposal or air gap. Remove the kick plate, open the junction box, and disconnect the wires (or unplug it if corded). Remove the two mounting screws under the counter and slide the unit out onto a towel.
How much does a dishwasher weigh?
Most 24-inch built-ins weigh 60 to 90 pounds. Stainless-tub models are at the upper end. Portable units with a wood top run 90 to 120 pounds.
