Other notes
- Prince William County residential users get ordinary household trash, recycling and yard-waste service free. Named incorporated town/city residents and commercial users may owe separate fees; no universal free-access claim is made.
- Accepts listed household trash, scrap metal, yard waste, separated glass bottles/jars, loose mixed recycling, flattened cardboard and textiles. These services share one parent facility page, not duplicate single-stream pages.
- Small residential home-improvement C&D loads up to a regular pickup load, 2.5 cubic yards, are listed free for county residential users; larger C&D loads are not accepted. Commercial small loads have separate rules/fees and should call.
- Special-waste list includes tires, selected batteries, used motor oil/antifreeze and refrigerant appliances, but no item-specific tariff was verified here. Keep materials separated and ask staff for the proper area.
- Ordinary facility schedule changed January 3, 2026. Do not use old 5 p.m. generic listings as the normal closing time. Secure loads and follow booth/sign directions.
- No HHW or electronics at the compost facility; those are separately scheduled at the county landfill. Do not bring gas tanks or paint here. The compost page's referral hours conflict with the updated landfill schedule, so check directly.
- Bulky items and construction debris are NOT accepted on weekends at this small convenience center. Standard seven-day opening does not override these material-specific restrictions.
- Organic yard/food waste service and soil-product sales are co-located; bulk product prices/availability require confirmation. No rocks, sod, concrete, asphalt, clearing debris, manure, junked vehicles, boats, campers, hot tubs or mobile homes.
