As of Monday, June 15th, trash and recycling contractors are required to resume collecting yard waste. Our current contractor, Patriot Disposal, has already started this collection but this notice from Fairfax County makes it official.
The information on yard waste collection below is an excerpt from the Patriot Disposal welcome letter that was sent to every homeowner in April.
YARD WASTE: Yard Waste will be collected on Wednesdays. Grass clippings and leaves must be set out for pickup in bio-degradable paper bags or in a trash container clearly marked “yard waste” on both sides. Tree limbs and brush must be tied in bundles no longer than 4 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter. Bundles or items that are bagged cannot exceed 50 pounds. Yard waste does not include stumps, rocks, dirt, sod, gravel, mulch, whole trees, or clean-up from storm damage. Collection of these items may be provided for an additional charge.
