- A renewable energy solar project in the county, at its completion, will generate enough energy to power about 1,000 homes. Fairfax County will be the first locality in the Commonwealth to begin construction of a solar array on the grounds of a closed landfill.
Fairfax County produces a lot of trash —over 1,800 tons every day! To cut down on waste, we all can take steps like recycling, composting, and finding other ways to repurpose things instead of throwing them away. Doing this helps protect the environment, saves money, and reduces how much we rely on burning trash for energy or using landfills.
