Effective Immediately – No Plastic Bags for Yard Waste!
Due to new Fairfax County regulations, residents may not place yard waste out for collection in plastic bags. This is strictly prohibited. You must now use re-usable containers or paper based bags.
Trash, Recycling and Yard Collection
The Hamlet Cluster policies cover the storage and placement of trash, recycling and related containers to help maintain property values and sanitary conditions. Key aspects of the policy are:
Only approved trash bins or cans behind approved panels allowed in front yards.
Cans & bins left on common ground will be removed without notice
Residents may place trash, recycling and yard debrit out for collection at sundown the night before pickup and no earlier
Cans, bins and other containers must be removed from common ground the morning after pickup
Do NOT place open bags at the curb! If not in a trash can, use heavy duty trash bags which are tightly secured!
Schedules
Trash must be placed at the curb not earlier than sundown the night before collection. Place at curb or common ground area where the truck can clearly see it from the street!
Recycling must be at the curb in standard recycling bins or secured bags.
Yard waste, including grass clippings, tree limbs and leaves, are collected on Wednesdays only. Tree branches must be bundled in 4 ft. lengths or less. Grass and leaves must be in approved paper bags.
NO PLASTIC BAGS ALLOWED!
Please DO NOT place trash and recycling in the same “pile” at the curb! Placing trash near recycling is resulting in both being left behind, and contributing to a growing rodent problem.
While they collect most household items, you must call in advance if you are placing larger items such as furniture or appliances to be collected. Call Republic directly at 703-818-8222
