Hauled Wastewater Disposal - Septic/Portable Toilet/FOG

Fairfax County accepts certain types of hauled wastewater at the Noman M. Cole, Jr. Pollution Control Plant from haulers licensed by the Fairfax County Health Department.

  • Liquid waste removed from a septic tank, cesspool, portable toilet or similar device that receives only domestic sewage
  • Restaurant grease trap waste (See Fats, Oils and Grease - FOG)
  • Recreational Vehicle wastewater (by appointment only)
  • Other waste types such as landfill leachate, commercial carwash water, sewage digester waste, etc. may be accepted after review.

Only wastes generated within Fairfax County, the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, and the towns of Clifton, Herndon, and Vienna will be accepted.

Hauled industrial wastes are prohibited unless specifically approved.

Deodorizer and sanitizer products containing formaldehyde or 1,4-dichlorobenzene are not allowed.

Haulers may be required to provide samples from any load.

Approved Wastewater Haulers

Only sewage handlers with current Fairfax County Health Department registration or specially authorized haulers will be permitted to use the disposal facility. Residents of Fairfax County may discharge sanitary wastes from recreational vehicle holding tanks, if pre-arranged with the Industrial Waste Section.
