Solid Waste Facility

Solid Waste Management Program

12000 Government Center Pkwy #458, Fairfax, VA 22035

(703) 324-5230

A general solid waste facility in Jefferson City where local residents and small haulers drop off household trash, recyclables and yard waste. Located on E Elm Street, it’s the kind of place people use when a regular curbside pickup won’t do.

Pull in to a gated entrance with a small booth nearby; plan to slow down and stop at that point. There’s a visible scale area and piles or containers for different materials further inside the site. Recycling bins and a yard-waste area are typically off to one side, while roll-off containers and open tipping spots sit beyond them. Weekends and seasonal cleanup times usually mean a longer line of vehicles waiting to get through the gate.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp and straps so loads stay contained while driving and unloading.
  • Separate recyclables and yard waste from regular trash before arriving to move through the site faster.
  • Try to come early on weekdays if possible - peak times get backed up, especially in spring.
