24/7 or call (703) 228-6570, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. (after hours select option 2). Requests made the same day of your trash collection day must be received by 6:30 a.m. to be processed for that day.

If your item is a chargeable item, there is a $10 fee for the first item, and no additional fee for each additional chargeable item per collection day. Charges will be added to your quarterly utility bill.

How to Prepare for Pickup

  • Pile items separately, curbside or in the street (not in the yard)
  • There must be an overhead clearance of approximately 25 feet
  • Do not pile under low hanging power lines or tree limbs
  • Do not place next to parked cars; the truck needs at least a 10-foot clearance from cars to avoid possible damage
