TextResidential Disposal Fees & Regulations
Proof of residency in Fairfax County (i.e., utility bill, driver’s license) is required to dispose of trash at either the I-66 Transfer Station Complex or I-95 Landfill Complex.
Methods of payment accepted include MasterCard, Visa or Cash.
Fees for disposing of trash are based on volume (cubic yards) or weight (pounds). Bagged waste is charged based on volume, while unbagged bulk waste is typically charged by weight. The county reserves the right to base the fee on either volume or weight. Customers may request that the disposal fee for bulk waste be based on weight rather than volume. Should weight-based pricing be used, the vehicle will be weighed on a scale and the fee calculated based on the weight of the waste.
If a customer fails to return to the scales for an empty weight, Fairfax County will estimate the empty weight of the vehicle and customers will be charged accordingly. If action is necessary to collect the disposal fees, a penalty of $50 will be added.
