Figuring out who provides your trash and recycling can be a bit confusing. The City of Manassas Trash and Recycling Program covers the City of Manassas (zip code 20110) only. There's the City of Manassas, City of Manassas Park, and the wider Manassas area, which is part of Prince William County.
Curbside trash and recycling service is part of the Refuse and Recycling Program, here in the City of Manassas.
The City currently services over 11,000 townhomes twice weekly and single-family homes once weekly. The Program currently provides the following curbside collection services:
- Trash
- Recycling
- Yard Waste
- Scheduled Bulk Waste
- Scheduled Televisions and Computer Monitors
- Leaf Collection (October - January)
The program also provides the following scheduled drop-off services for all City residents including those in apartments and condominiums:
In addition, the program funds Keep Manassas Beautiful (KMB), which is an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful. KMB empowers our residents to keep our community clean and beautiful through volunteer activities. We provide them with the materials that they need for their collections.
The budget also covers outreach, education, and associated activities that engage residents of all ages in creative ways that encourage creativity and individuality through recycling.
The City does not have a sanitation department. We contract our services to local haulers and work with local recyclers including:
The weekly service fee for townhome residents is $6.43 ($27.88 monthly) and $6.14 weekly ($ 26.59) for single-family homes. This fee is paid through the utility bills that residents receive – and is not drawn from taxes.
All Trash and Recycling Program activities are regularly reported through annual reports and as part of the annual budget, which is presented to the City Council.
The City of Manassas does not own the Manassas Transfer Station. The facility is owned and operated by Waste Management. The City works in partnership with Waste Management to provide our residents with scheduled drop0ff days for Household Hazardous Waste, Electronics, and Document Shredding.
