October 1 is tomorrow! Be prepared for these yard waste changes in Prince William County.
New Yard Waste Collection Program. No plastic bags beginning October 1
On Dec. 15, 2020, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors unanimously approved changes to Chapter 22 (Refuse) of the County Code. As a result of this code change, a new curbside yard waste collection program will begin on Oct. 1.
Yard waste will be collected weekly, separate from trash and recycling. Yard waste must be placed in biodegradable paper bags or containers labeled “Yard Waste”. Labels are available at the County Landfill or Balls Ford Road Compost Facility. Plastic bags should no longer be used for yard waste collection.
Residents, businesses, apartments, landscapers, etc. are all required to arrange for a separate collection of yard waste, leaves and brush. The yard waste collection program is seasonal and will run March through December, each year.
Guidelines on yard waste preparation and other details on the new program are available at www.pwcva.gov/yardwaste .
