CHANGES IN BULK TRASH PICKUP

Beginning January 1st, 2024, there will be an $85 fee PER bulk item scheduled. This service is to be arranged directly with Republic Services by calling their Customer Service Center at 703-818-8222.

Please review the information on disposing of large household items here. 

This change was done to control the cost of the contract, while keeping the service level at twice weekly trash pickup. Unfortunately there has been a nationwide increase in trash collection costs. Keeping bulk services would've added an additional $334,219, or $6.86 per unit per month. This change shifts the responsibility of paying for bulk items to the owners using those services rather than everyone paying.

TRASH SURVEY RESULTS

The Board recently sent out a survey asking residents for their preference for once a week or twice a week trash pickup, and, based on that feedback, decided to keep trash pickup at twice a week. In the survey, single family house residents leaned toward twice a week, while townhouses leaned toward once a week. 53% of residents who responded preferred once a week pickup and 47% preferred twice a week. 

The board considered a trial period of once a week, but chose otherwise when our trash removal contractor indicated there might be an additional cost to switching back and forth during the year. The board decided to evaluate the once a week option again next summer, as this option could save the community $241,000, or $4.95 per unit per month.
