LET’S SPRING INTO ACTION!

Get outdoors and do your part to keep our neighborhood clean and beautiful.

Bring your old furniture, small appliances and large items that can’t go in your normal trash collection to the dumpster.

Safely and securely dispose of unwanted and sensitive documents.

The County is providing the dumpsters and shred truck free of charge to the neighborhood.

This gives you the chance to get rid of things that create Code Violations on your property or just take too much space to store.

The following items CANNOT be disposed of in the dumpster but are accepted in the County Landfill:

– Antifreeze
– Commercial waste
– Fuel drums
– Fuel tanks
– Household hazardous waste
– Motor oil
– Paint/Paint thinners
– Pesticides
– Pool chemicals

Volunteer to Help Your Neighbors

We need community members to help unload items into the dumpster and ensure hazardous waste is not thrown into the dumpster. It’s a great way to get to know others in your community and lend a helping hand.

To volunteer, please contact Ms. Fay Cochran at (703) 361-2646.
