CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS (C&D)

The County limits C&D disposal at the landfill because it is bulky and takes up a large amount of space. By restricting construction debris, the County can save valuable space for future municipal solid waste disposal needs. PWC residents may dispose of small amounts of C&D from home improvement projects. There is no charge for regular-size pick-up truck loads (2.5 cubic yards), larger loads are not accepted. The Solid Waste Fee does not include the disposal of large amounts of construction and demolition debris.

Prince William County residents may drop off small amounts of construction debris (C&D), up to a regular-size pick-up truck load (2.5 cubic yards) at no cost.

Businesses and contractors may drop off small amounts of C&D, up to a regular-size pickup truck load (2.5 cubic yards) for $25, larger loads are not accepted.

For information about disposing of or recycling large amounts of construction and demolition debris, see this alternative disposal listing or call (703) 792-5750 (TTY:711) to get more information. Violations carry penalties and fines.

Builder's Guide to Reuse & Recycling has been published by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG). This guide also contains information about the benefits of recycling, the basics of C&D recovery, tips for job site collection, etc. Businesses and contractors may also consult the Internet or phone book for a list of C&D disposal facilities in the area.
