A NOTE ABOUT TRASH, RECYCLING, BRUSH, AND CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION
Solid waste collection will occur as normal on Wednesdays in November and December.

Christmas trees are collected free of charge on Wednesdays in January and February (except on City-observed holidays). Placing your tree at the curb during the first two weeks in January ensures speedy collection. Place your Christmas Tree at the curb after removing plastic bags, rope, and all decorations, including tinsel. Residents who live in apartments and condominiums that receive private trash and recycling service may recycle trees by taking them to the brush collection area at the Fairfax County Citizens’ Disposal and Recycling Facility, located at 4618 W. Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030.
