been purchased.
The program continues to be successful among most city
residents, as approximately 9,090 tons of recyclables
were collected in 2009. Winston-Salem, a city with about
15,000 more citizens and an older curbside recycling
program, collected 10,818 tons in 2007-2008.

No. 19 to service the I-295-Ramsey Street area and
Station No. 1 to assist near Cedar Creek Road and I-95.

staff's efforts, the City has been allocated
or awarded approximately $10 million in recovery funds.

2009 City of Fayetteville
Year-In-Review
The year of 2009 brought many changes and
improvements for the City of Fayetteville. The
curbside recycling program generated enough
interest that "super recyclers" purchased larger
recycling carts and tons upon tons of recyclable
materials were collected. The Fayetteville Area
System of Transit (FAST) added new buses
DQGOLJKWWUDQVLWYHKLFOHV/79VZKLOHRIIHULQJ
extended hours on several routes and debuting
a new route. There was more good news in
Fayetteville local government in 2009, so sit back,
relax and reminisce.
Larger Recycling Carts Rollout,
Recycling Program Does Well
When the curbside recycling
program began in 2008,
some excited citizens were
disappointed with the 36-gallon
recycling cart they received.
They expressed their feelings
in calls to the City's Customer
Call Center and through an
online survey. The City
responded by offering 96-gallon recycling carts,
the most popular pick in the survey, giving "super
recyclers" more room to recycle their materials.
