Trash: Tuesday and Friday
Recyclables: Thursday
Pick-up Time: 6:00 am or later. We highly recommend using sturdy black bags or trash bins and putting trash out the morning of pick-up to prevent raccoons and other animals breaking into bags and spreading trash. We understand, however, that it is not always an option, so if you must put your trash out the preceding night, please do so after dark for community appearance and as courtesy to those walking the neighborhood.
Trash bins must be brought in before the end of the day on the day of pick-up. Empty bins should not be left out overnight.
YARD WASTE UPDATE: As of April 19, 2021, yard waste in plastic bags will NOT be accepted by our trash service. All yard waste, including but not limited to grass clippings, leaves, straw, brush, branches, vines, and flowers must be put in paper yard waste bags.
Yard waste does not include materials generated during tree removal, land clearing, or home renovation projects such as tree stumps, lumber treated wood, pallets, sawdust, dirt, mulch, sod, or food waste. Paper yard waste bags are available online and in grocery, discount, hardware, and garden stores.
Blue recycle bins are available. Please contact the Property Manager at [email protected] or fill out this form.
Glass Recycling: As of October 1, 2019, Fairfax County no longer accepts glass bottles and jars in the curbside recycling program. Residents should reuse glass containers or bring them to purple, glass-only recycling containers located throughout the region. If this is not possible, glass should be placed in the trash. The closest purple, glass-only recycling container is located just off Stevenson Avenue at Tower Court and South Whiting Street by the Alley Cat Restaurant.
