Storm Clean Up: Special Bulk Collection
newsflash bulk collection
Due to the historic nature of the July 8 floods, the City is waiving Special Bulk Collection fees for the next two weeks (July 10 and July 17 pickups).
Residents must still call to request a special collection – bulk items left curbside will not be picked up unless a resident calls to schedule a special collection. Only residential curbside customers receiving regular solid waste collections are eligible for special collection services.
To request a special collection, call the Solid Waste Hotline at 703-248-5160 (TTY 711), option 1. Customers can also use the Recycle Coach App to make service requests. The Recycle Coach App is available on the City’s Solid Waste page (www.fallschurchva.gov/solidwaste) or can be downloaded to Apple/Android devices. Select Service Request > Request Bulk Pickup.
Residents have until 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 9 to request a special collection pickup for Wednesday, July 10. The deadline to schedule a Wednesday, July 17 pickup is noon on Tuesday, July 16.
Items must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Depending on the types of material set out, several different trucks may be assigned to collect your materials. When you’re scheduling a special collection pickup, please let the operator know if any items were exposed to sanitary sewer backflow
Items that are eligible for special bulk collection with waived fees include:
Furniture
Household Appliances
Rugs
Other items too large or heavy to fit into a trash container.
Solid waste from any work done by a contractor may not be included with special collections. Contractors must arrange for the removal of solid waste or contact a private company to make alternative collection and disposal arrangements. We are unable to collect the following items:
Bricks, concrete, concrete blocks, rocks, stone
Construction debris, such as dry wall
Contractor trash or yard waste
Dirt, sod, sand, railroad ties
Asbestos
Hazardous waste
Paint cans with wet paint
Tires
Special bulk collection pick-ups scheduled for after Wednesday, July 17 will incur the normal fee ($75 per two cubic yards of material. The appliance collection fee is $30 per appliance.)
Brush collection fees are not waived. Brush should still be placed in paper yard debris bags with yellow collection stickers. Collection of unbundled brush still incurs a fee and requires a special bulk collection request.
Questions? Please call the Solid Waste Hotline at 703-248-5160 (TTY 711) or email recycling@fallschurchva.gov.
