Syringe and Medical Waste Disposal - Special care required. Millions of Americans use syringes daily to treat medical conditions including diabetes, allergies, infertility, and MS, as well as for veterinary care. Two-thirds of those injections are self-administered at home with single-use syringes. 
Syringes cannot be recycled, no matter what they are made of. Improperly disposed of needles pose a major safety hazard to recycling plant workers. To safely dispose of syringes, needles, lancets, and other medical sharps:
Place the used item into an empty household plastic container or coffee can. Bleach and detergent bottles are best because needles can't poke through. Do not use glass containers, which can break. Tape or screw the lid shut. Write "Do Not Recycle" on the outside.
Do not Recycle: Soiled bandages, disposable sheets, medical gloves, adult and baby diapers as well as other home-generated medical wastes and material contaminated with excrement or secretions from the body. These items should be put into securely-fastened plastic bags and placed with your regular garbage.


Bulk Item Information - Any large or unusual items are considered bulk items. Removal of bulk times is free of charge for unlimited service customers. Charges for stickers customers are $10-$15 for items such as furniture, appliances, lawn/garden equipment, exercise equipment, and other household items. If you are unsure if your item constitutes as a bulk item, or if you are unsure of the disposal cost, please contact our office. We at Fayette Waste, in accordance with landfill regulations and going green, strongly recommend that customers who have useable household items, furniture, or appliances donate them to charities such as Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul's, The Salvation Army, or the Red Cross. If your items, for whatever reason, cannot be given to charity, please do not hesitate to contact our office for pick-up. Please remember that all customers must contact our office to request the removal of all bulk items and must be made at least one (1) day in advance of your pick-up day. Sticker Customers should be prepared to pay the fees assessed for this service at the time of their request.

Move-Out Pick-Up - Any customer who has a large quantity of household items resulting from moving out of a residence may contact our office for our move out pick-up service. Up to four (4) cubic-yards of items will be accepted free of charge. Customers will be charged $6.75 per yard if the quantity is over four (4) cubic yards.
