Bulky waste is defined in Town Ordinance 2016-21 as follows:
Stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, washing machines, furniture, construction debris and other waste materials generated from a residential unit only, other than dead animals, hazardous waste, or stable matter with weights or volumes greater than those allowed for the applicable bins or poly carts. Customer shall be responsible for the proper removal of refrigerants and other hazardous wastes from bulky waste and shall properly tag bulky waste as being free of refrigerants and other hazardous wastes prior to removal by contractor.
Fairview Residents can also take their bulk trash to the North Texas Municipal Water District’s (NTMWD’s) 121 Regional Disposal Facility (121 RDF). To contact the 121 Regional Disposal Facility to find out what fees will be charged for bulk items, call (972) 442-5405.

Garbage and recycling collection is in 95-gallon rolling containers provided by the hauler. A $75.00 replacement fee may be charged for the carts if they are lost, ruined by customer neglect, or taken when a customer moves out of Fairview.
Extra garbage carts are available for an additional $6.91 (plus sales tax) per month each, or an extra $10.28 (plus tax) for carry-out service from the house. A second recycling cart can be requested for free.

Republic Services will bill all commercial and industrial customers directly. All commercial and industrial customers will be billed a 5 percent franchise fee on each bill.

The facility is the first building past the railroad tracks on the east side of the street. The building is white with bright turquoise trim.
The Home Chemical Collection Center accepts only household waste such as paint, pesticides, yard chemicals, pool chemicals, motor oil and other automotive fluids, cleaners, glues and other hobby products, fluorescent light tubes and batteries. Items not accepted include business waste, common trash and recyclables, radioactive materials, explosives, ammunition, or bio-medical waste.
