FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- To ensure the safety of trash truck drivers, Fairfax County has suspended the requirement for trash and recycling collection for the week of Jan. 25-30 for all collection companies operating in the county. This will provide the opportunity for workers to clear streets to allow travel to resume safely. Snow-covered roads make trash and recycling collection very difficult.
However, collection may resume before Jan. 30, 2016; it will depend on road conditions and the decisions made by each collection company.

The following message is for Monday trash/recycling collection customers:
Due to unsafe road conditions there will be no trash/recycling collection on Monday, Jan. 25, 2016. Monday customers will receive trash/recycling collection on their next scheduled collection day, Feb. 1, 2016.
Customers should pull trash/recycling carts away from the curb to allow snow plows to clean streets.
Thank you for your patience.
