Update to Residential Disposal Fees

Effective Monday, February 9, 2026, the following change will be made to Residential Disposal Fees:

Bathtubs, Sinks, and Toilets will no longer be charged by item. Bathtubs, Sinks, and Toilets will now be considered as construction debris (Brick, Concrete, Dirt and Rocks), and a minimum fee of $46.00 per load will apply.

This change will better align these items with their operational cost of disposal. 


Recycling and Trash Waste Collection Service

If you are experiencing problems with timely and reliable recycling and trash waste collection, please check with your collector’s website for notices on any changes in collection frequency or scheduled days of collection. Also look for information on how to receive service when collections are missed. If you have additional questions or concerns, let us know at trashmail@fairfaxcounty.gov. Be advised most private collectors will respond faster about their services than our Solid Waste Management Program personnel.
