Yard waste collection in Prince William County will resume in March and continue through December. Residents will receive weekly curbside pickup separate from trash and recycling.
As part of the program, residents must use biodegradable paper bags or labeled containers for yard waste disposal, as plastic bags are no longer permitted. Homeowners, businesses, and landscapers must arrange separate collections for yard waste, leaves, and brush with their designated trash and recycling service providers.
For those opting for drop-off, yard waste can be taken to the Prince William County Landfill at 14811 Dumfries Road or the Compost Facility at 13000 Hansen Farm Road. The collected yard waste is transformed into compost and mulch, reducing landfill usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Since the program began in October 2021, more than 22,400 tons of material have been composted or repurposed.
More details, including specific collection guidelines and Christmas tree disposal information, can be found at pwcva.gov/yardwaste.
