Plastic Bags No Longer Accepted For Yard Waste

In compliance with new Fairfax County guidelines, American Disposal Services no longer accepts yard waste in plastic bags. This policy took effect January 1, 2021. Additional guidelines for our community are as follows.

Yard debris is collected on Friday. Acceptable types of yard debris include grass clippings, leaves and tree limbs. Grass and leaves must be placed in biodegradable paper bags or a container marked “Yard Waste.” Tree limbs and brush should be bundled together using rope or twine. Each tree limb or piece of brush may not exceed 4 feet in length and 3 inches in diameter. Rocks, mulch, sod and dirt are not accepted.
