Who is Considered a Residential User?

In Prince William County, a residential user of the Landfill Complex or the Compost Facility is defined as an individual who resides within Prince William County or the towns of Dumfries, Occoquan, Haymarket, or Quantico and who is not a commercial user or refuse remover. To qualify as a residential user, the materials being brought to the Landfill Complex or the Compost Facility must originate from the resident’s own household, not from a job site, commercial activity, or any business-related operation.
