Trash & Recycling Collection Days

Regular Trash Collection - Monday and Thursday
Yard Waste Recycling - Monday Only (beginning in April) - any yard waste placed at the curb from February - April will be disposed of as trash.
Regular Recycling - Thursday Only
Special Item Pick-Up - Wednesday Only (please call to schedule)

Patriot Disposal's service will include trash twice-per-week trash removal and once-per-week recycling.  Please do not put trash on the curb before 6:00 PM the night before pickup, and please remove your toter(s) from the curb as soon as possible after pick-up (the same day as trash/recycling pickup).  Trash and recycling services will take place between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM on Mondays and Thursdays.

There will be no trash pick-up if the regular service day falls on New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or any other collection day when the refuse and recycling facilities are closed.  Collection services will resume on the next regularly-scheduled service day.  Please note: Collection tends to be somewhat delayed the day following a holiday.

General Guidelines

Services will be provided on each of the designated service days unless otherwise noted.  Collection times, however, may vary.  Trash must be in trash bags, securely tied, or in a standard covered trash can and placed at the curb in front of your home.  Please have all items at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on each service day. 

Uncollected trash and recycling should be reported to our Customer Service Department, (703)257-7100 or customerservice@patriotdisposalservices.com, and it will be picked up within a 24-hour period of the report. Patriot will remove moving boxes of new residents, from the curb, along with ordinary household refuse.

The following items must not be put in toters, but instead be separated out for collection:  rocks, concrete, dirt, soil, sod, tree stumps, brick, landscaping timbers, construction debris, “trash-outs” and containers or bundles weighing more than 50 lbs. or longer than 4 feet.  Collection of these items may be provided for an additional charge.  Call the Patriot Disposal Customer Service Department for a quote.

Please be sure to follow the ARB Guidelines:  Trash cans and recycling containers must be stored on one's own property and out of open view.  For this reason, storage of trash and recycling containers must be in the garage or behind the rear plane of the home against the structure.  Storage of these containers in front or beside the house or garage is not acceptable and is a violation.  An exception may be made if the property is fenced, however, the containers must be stored behind the fence against the side of the house or garage, providing the side yard is not directly facing the front of a neighboring housing unit, road frontage, or otherwise negatively impacting a neighboring home from ground level.  Trash, recycling and storage containers cannot be kept on an elevated deck."

Recycling Guidelines

Recycling will be collected at the curb each week on Thursday. The recycling method is "single-stream"; recyclable materials may be placed all together in one container. Recyclable materials include newspaper, mixed paper, flattened cardboard (no larger than 4’x4’), glass, aluminum and metal food and beverage containers, and plastic bottles, jugs and containers.

Yard Debris

Yard debris will be collected on Monday each week. Yard debris is defined as grass clippings, leaves and hedge trimmings. Grass clippings must be placed at the curb in paper bags, or in a separate container clearly marked “yard waste.” Hedge trimmings must be less than 6-inches in diameter, cut into 4-foot lengths, and tied in small bundles or bagged. Bundles are not to exceed two feet in diameter. Christmas trees will be collected in January at no additional charge. Yard debris does not include stumps, whole trees, or clean-up from storm damage. Collection of these items may be provided for an additional charge. 

Special Item Pick-Up

Special items will be collected at the curb each week on Wednesdays. Special items include appliances, small furniture, mattresses, and other large items. Special items that will be collected and recycled include scrap metal (grills, bicycles, swings, chairs), small electronics (computers, monitors, small TVs, small printers, VCRs, DVD/CD players, etc.), motor oil, and car batteries. Advance notice is required for the collection of all special items.

Up to two special items per residence per pickup will be collected at no additional charge. Additional items, or items that are extremely large or heavy, will be collected for a minimum fee of $25.00.

Inclement Weather

Patriot will make every effort to provide services when the weather is inclement. Services will be suspended upon notification that a snow, ice, or other weather-related emergency exists. In the event of such an emergency, collection services will resume on the next regularly-scheduled service day, road conditions permitting.

Trash Toters and Recycling Bins

Patriot will supply one wheeled 96-gallon trash container (toter) and one wheeled 64-gallon recycling container (toter) to each single-family home and two recycling bins to each townhome. There will be a replacement charge for each toter or bin that is lost, stolen or damaged by any means other than normal wear and tear. If you would like an additional toter, or bin they are available for a nominal fee.

Limits of Responsibility

Patriot Disposal will not be responsible for trash can lids, plastic trash cans, or any items, large or small, left near the trash cans, or to collect trash from a container that is packed too tightly. Containers weighing more than 50 pounds will not be emptied.

Per County Regulations, the following items will NOT be collected: liquids of any kind, asbestos, ammunition, fuel tanks, hazardous waste, infectious or medical waste, petroleum contaminated soil, radioactive waste, dead animals, manure, dangerous acids, caustics, explosives, or other dangerous material or items too large or too heavy to be loaded safely into the collection vehicles.
