What is hazardous
waste?
Chemically-based products such as paint, solvents, pesticides and acids
that are flammable, corrosive, reactive or toxic are considered
hazardous. They must be properly handled and packaged to minimize the
impact on the environment. These materials are separated into two
categories: household or business. If they were used in and around the
home they are household hazardous
wastes. If they were used for a nonresidential purpose, they are
classified as business hazardous
wastes.
How are hazardous
wastes handled?
Household hazardous waste is accepted at two county locations during
specific hours.

Business hazardous waste is not accepted at the household hazardous waste facilities. See a list of disposal companies that will pick up these materials. more…
If your business generates only a small amount of hazardous waste, you may have found disposal difficult and expensive. Many small businesses are looking for an affordable, simple solution to disposing of these wastes. Fairfax County is working on just such a solution.
Some small businesses may qualify for a special hazardous waste disposal
program. The county sponsors a program for Conditionally Exempt Small
Quantity Generators (CESQG) located in Fairfax County. An exempt business
is one that generates less than 220 pounds or 27 gallons of hazardous
materials during a month. This program is operated by Safety Kleen
Services, Inc. and Curbside, Inc. There is a fee for disposal of
hazardous materials from small quantity generators. Under this program, a
Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator will directly pay the fee
to the contractor. To arrange for a collection, please call Curbside,
Inc. at 1-800-449-7587. For more information and details regarding
the small quantity generator program, please call 703-324-5230,
TTY 711.
Do you take tires at the I-95
Landfill Complex?
Yes, but there are restrictions. Please call 703-324-5230, TTY

What is the process
for obtaining a commercial, disposal or tire disposal permit?
These three different permits require different information. Please call
703-324-5230, TTY 711 or 703-631-0495, TTY 711 for
details.
Where can I dispose

Where can I dispose of
latex paint?
If you do not want the paint anymore, try to find someone who can use
it, e.g., a neighbor, theater group or church. If you must dispose of it,
take the lid off the can, place it in a well-ventilated location, let the
paint dry, and throw away the dried paint with your regular garbage.
Mixing kitty litter into the paint accelerates drying. Latex paint is not
considered a household hazardous waste.
Is mulch free and will you
load it?
Shredded wood mulch is free and we will load it, if possible.

ticket?

customers.
What are the fees for

fees, commercial fees and
residential punch cards can
