Collection Service and Schedules

In most cases, ninety percent (90%) of residents and businesses in Fairfax County, a private collection company picks up your trash and recycling. If you get service through a private company, please contact them directly about services and scheduling. If Fairfax County Government provides your trash and recycling pickup service, visit County Collection Customers for information. Unsure if you are a county collection customer?

The county is not offering this list as a recommendation or endorsement. You are encouraged to do your own research in selecting a service provider.
