Licensed collectors are required by Code to collect and recycle real Christmas trees of less than 8 feet that have been set out separately at single family and townhouse communities for the first two weeks in January. Contact your collection company regarding their service.
Consider donating artificial trees in good condition to charitable organizations.
In most cases, a private collection company picks up your trash. Residents are billed by the collection company or pay via their Home Owner Association fees. Find a list of Permitted Solid Waste Collection Companies. Some residents have trash collected by Fairfax County Government.
Aligning with the national “America Recycles Day,” Fairfax Recycles Day has been recognized by the Board of Supervisors on November 15 for several years. The County’s Solid Waste Management Program traditionally celebrates with various events, contests and giveaways.
