Dumpster Day Area Cleanups

Fall 2025 Schedule Now available!

This fall, the Prince William County Solid Waste Division in partnership the magisterial district offices, will support community Dumpster Day events.   These events assist residents, neighbors, and community groups to safely and conveniently dispose of unwanted items and remove litter and dumped items from their area. The Division will provide free dumpsters at various locations throughout the county.

Dumpster Days are open to all county residents. The Solid Waste Division encourages residents to organize or participate in a community cleanup in their neighborhoods. Neighbors are encouraged to work together and coordinate a community litter cleanup with Keep Prince William Beautiful and take advantage of the special onsite dumpster. Common areas, streams, and waterways all benefit from a litter-free environment.   Volunteers can join in area litter pickups or utilize the free county dumpsters to remove clutter and debris from their porches, patios, yards, or other areas around their homes.  Check out the fall events schedule available at www.pwcva.gov/dumpster-days. Some locations also have a paper shredding service and a reuse collection.

Electronics, household hazardous waste, liquids of any kind, fuel tanks/drums, motor oil, antifreeze, paint, paint thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, and commercial waste are not accepted at the dumpsters. However, all these items can be appropriately disposed of at Prince William County Landfill. Visit www.pwcva.gov/disposalguide for more information.

If discarding household appliances, please ensure refrigerators are empty, wiped clean, and the doors are secured with tape.  Also, remove glass trays from microwaves before dropping them off at the dumpster location.
