Tipping Fees Waived For Former Haulin' Trash Customers In Fairfax

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — Fairfax County Board of Supervisors passed a measure at its meeting on Tuesday to waive tipping fees for former Haulin’ Trash customers at the county's two drop-off sites.

In a letter sent last week to its customers, Haulin' Trash said that it was ceasing operations and shutting down as of Dec. 1, according to WTOP News.

This left approximately 3,000 county residents without trash pickup, with their only recourse being to haul their refuse to one of the county's two drop-off sites themselves while they searched for a replacement contractor.

On Tuesday, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chair Jeff McKay introduced a board matter directing the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services:

1. "Cease charging for household trash and recycling drop off for individual residential customers affected by the closure of Haulin’ Trash from December 7, 2022 until Jan. 1, 2023;
2. "Require proof for the discount in the form of a past bill from Haulin' Trash to be verified by County staff on site; and
3. "Track the cost of the waived tipping fees."

The board passed the measure, which goes into effect on Wednesday.

Former Haulin' Trash customers from Fairfax County can bring their household trash and recycling to either of the two DPWES drop-off facilities:

• I-66 Transfer Station, 4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030.
• I-95 Landfill Complex, 9850 Furnace Road, Lorton, VA, 22079

Hours of operation for both facilities are Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday, 7 a.m.-4 p.m.
