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 trampolines and playsets: The steel frame is a Wednesday metal item by call; the mat goes out on B week.
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.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Fayetteville Solid Waste: Bulky Items. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why trampolines and playsets are different from ordinary bulk. Trampoline springs are under tension and are the injury risk. Use the spring puller that came with the trampoline or a pair of locking pliers, work in a cross pattern so tension releases evenly, and remove the net and pads first. The frame tubes then pull apart by hand or with a rubber mallet.
Three mistakes that get trampolines and playsets left at the curb:
Paid options are for large playsets with concrete footings, in-ground trampolines, and cities with tight bulk limits.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$20 to $60Bundled lumber and a rolled mat load into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by weight; pressure-treated wood goes as C&D.
Take the steel to a scrap yard first where it is free.

Can a trampoline go out with bulk trash?
Disassembled, yes in most cities: frame tubes bundled, springs bagged, mat and pads rolled or bagged. The steel can also go to a scrap yard free. Check your city’s bundle limits in the directory below.
How do I take down a trampoline?
Remove the net and poles, then the pad. Use the spring puller or locking pliers to unhook springs in a cross pattern (one, then the opposite side, then a quarter turn around). Lift off the mat. Pull the frame tubes apart at the joints with a rubber mallet, and unbolt the legs. Two people, one to two hours.
Can I put playset lumber out for pickup?
Most bulk programs accept dismantled lumber in tied bundles under a length limit (commonly 4 to 6 feet) and a weight limit, with all nails removed or flattened. Pressure-treated wood is accepted as bulk but excluded from yard waste everywhere.
How do I know if the wood is pressure-treated?
Look for a greenish or brownish tint, small incision marks in a grid pattern, or an end tag or stamp. Most residential playsets sold since the 1990s are pressure-treated pine unless marketed as cedar or redwood.
