They missed my trash. Will they come back to get it?
Please call the Trashline on (703) 257-8252 or fill in our missed collections form online to report your missed trash. The crew will not automatically come back to get it. You need to report it.
Missed collections reported before 2 p.m. will be collected on the same day. Missed collections reported after 2 p.m. will be collected the following day after 2 p.m.
Missed collections reported on Friday after 2 p.m. will be collected on Monday after 2 p.m.
The City accepts scheduled glass as bulk waste.
Here's how to set it out:
- tape the glass to avoid it breaking and shattering during collection
- put broken glass in a cardboard box for collection
Please visit our Bulk Waste/Large Items page for more information.
Residents must call the Trashline on (703) 257-8252 to schedule items that cannot fit into the container. We do this to avoid missed collections.
