YARD WASTE COLLECTION SUSPENDED
It's a Good Time to Consider Composting
Fairfax County has temporarily suspended collection of yard waste. As you do your spring cleanup of your yard it may be a good time to reconsider how you dispose of your leaves and grass clippings. You might also think about delaying this type of work until the COVID-19 pandemic has passed.
Composting is nature’s own recycling program. No need to bag all your leaves and grass and haul them off-site. Composting leaves is great for the health of your garden and flowerbeds. Composting recharges and builds soil naturally. You can also mow your leaves into fine pieces and leave them on your turf.
Please consider mulching your grass as you cut, since there is no place to take bagged yard materials until further notice from the county. And as a friendly reminder, residents should not dispose of their yard waste in Reston's parks or natural areas.
