Curbside leaf collection in action! 🍁

Our waste and recycling crews are out in the neighborhoods, expertly guiding the vacuum truck and clearing the leaf piles residents rake to the curb. This seasonal service, offered each April and again in the fall, keeps our streets clean, safe, and welcoming.

A huge THANK YOU to the dedicated teams who make it happen for our community! 🙌

Illegally dumped items don’t just disappear; they have to be removed by hardworking refuse collection and recycling crews. Just this week, city workers removed an abandoned piano from the woods. Yes, a full-size piano.

Cleaning up illegally dumped trash takes staff time, increases landfill disposal costs, and causes additional wear on city equipment.

If you see illegal dumping in Fairfax City, please report it on Fairfax City Resolve at fairfaxva.gov/Resolve or via the Ready311 app (free on the Apple App Store or Google Play).

Together, we can keep Fairfax City clean and protect our community from illegal dumping.
