Fairfax County Solid Waste Management Program Launches Request for Expressions of Interest to Shape the Future of Waste, Recycling, and Zero Waste Innovation
The I-95 Landfill Complex provides high-quality and environmentally-responsive recycling and disposal services for Fairfax County.
From turning landfill gas into energy to creating a meadow refuge for grassland birds, Fairfax County’s I-95 Landfill Complex in Lorton is a hub for environmental innovation. The Green Vibe at I-95 is a new storytelling initiative that highlights the many ways this facility creates and preserves a sustainable community.
Imagine powering up 1,000 homes in Fairfax County on solar energy. It would require a tremendous number of solar panels in a very large area. Enter: the I-95 Landfill Complex in Lorton, Virginia. The Electrify I-95 Solar Panel project will be the largest solar installation in Fairfax County and will progress the county's goal of carbon neutrality. Partnering with Madison Energy Infrastructure, the project comprises approximately 12,000 solar panels that will be placed within the I-95 Landfill Complex.
Endangered grassland bird species, such as the Eastern meadowlark and grasshopper sparrow, have found refuge in Fairfax County thanks to a 50-acre swath of meadowland atop the I-95 Landfill Complex in Lorton and some modified land management procedures there. Recent efforts by the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) are helping the birds survive and thrive at the landfill.
