Republic Services will resume yard waste collection on March 6, 2024.
Per Fairfax County Public Works and Environmental Services Yard Waste guidelines:
When preparing yard waste for collection at the curb, you can use reusable containers, paper lawn bags, or tie branches up with string. Fairfax County prohibits the use of plastic bags for yard waste. Reusable containers like old trash cans are a great way to manage yard waste – especially branches and twigs. Paper yard waste bags are designed to withstand the elements and are great for all types of yard waste. Eliminating plastic bags for yard waste collection will help reduce the amount of plastic in our natural environment.
