Trash and Recycling pick up

---

Beginning August 31, yard waste will be picked up with regular trash.  This is a change allowed by Fairfax County due to a labor shortage in our region.  This is being allowed by Fairfax County for approximately 2 months. 

Single Family Homes:

On July 1, 2020 Patriot Disposal will begin using an automatic side loader for pickup at the single family homes. All trash and recycling must be inside their toters. All toters should be placed at the curb, unobstructed, with the handle facing the house.Unobstructed means the toter must be 3 feet away from all other toters, mailboxes, and cars. 

Patriot Disposal Services is our current trash and recycling contractor. 

Trash pick up is on to be Tuesdays and Fridays. Recycling is picked up on Wednesdays. Yard debris is picked up on Wednesdays for the single family homes.  

Yard Waste Collection

 All yard waste must be placed in paper bags or in a rigid container clearly marked “yard waste.” Yard waste in plastic bags will not be picked up.

· Bundles or loose branches placed at the curb will not be picked up.

· Residents are limited to a maximum of 10 bags of yard waste per home per pickup. 

· As a reminder, unaccepted materials include tree stumps, food waste, lumber, treated wood, pallets, sawdust, dirt, mulch and sod. Please do not mix any of these materials in with your yard waste.
