Trash & Recycling Information

Our waste and recycling vendor is American Disposal Services. (703)368-0500

Trash and recycling is now picked up on Wednesdays. We will still have one trash and recycling pickup date per week. Residents may put out their trash and recycling on Tuesday evenings starting at 6pm. All trash cans and recycling bins need to be cleaned up by Wednesday evening, per CMCA guidelines.

Yard waste will be collected on Wednesdays from March 1 to the end of December.

HOUSEHOLD WASTE: Bag all household trash and eliminate bags outside containers as much as possible. Place containers 3 feet apart and at least 10 feet from obstacles such as mailboxes, cars, and lamp posts. Please limit the amount of waste whenever possible, and remember the 3 Rs: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. All trash containers should be placed at the collection points no earlier than sunset on Tuesday evening and reclaimed no later than Wednesday evening.

RECYCLING: Drain all liquids and rinse containers. All cardboard boxes MUST be broken down before being placed into or beside the recycling containers. Recycling is to be placed at the curb in recycling containers. If you don't have a recycle bin, please call American Disposal Services to request one.

SCHEDULING BULK REMOVAL: Call the office at (703)368-0500 to schedule. No more than 3 items per pick-up, not to exceed 2 cubic yards, including furniture and/or household clean-out material. No construction or remodeling material permitted.  When scheduled, bulk pick-up day for Chesterfield Mews is Wednesday, appliance pick-up is every other Wednesday.  

YARD WASTE: Limit of 10 bags and 10 bundles per collection. Bundled yard debris should not exceed 4ft. in length and 3ft. in diameter, and both combined should not exceed 50lbs. Dirt, sod, concrete, rocks, and mulch are NOT acceptable items and should not be placed out for removal. Any grass clippings, leaves, limbs, or brush can be placed out with your regular trash on collection day.

INCLEMENT WEATHER: If roads and/or areas are deemed unsafe due to snow or ice, collection will be suspended and resumed on the next regularly scheduled day.

Homeowners may call American Disposal Services Customer Service Department at (703)368-0500 to purchase a 64 or 96 gallon trash cart that is wheeled and lidded for $75.00 each. Please note that American Disposal does not replace directly purchased equipment and normal wear and tear should be expected. Purchase of these trash bins is NOT REQUIRED; it is only offered as an additional service.

Notification has been sent regarding the use of plastic bags for yard debris material such as grass, leaves, and brush. Read more here.

GLASS CONTAINERS ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN CURBSIDE RECYCLING
Residents have two options when it comes to glass recycling:
 

1. Deliver used glass containers to purple, glass-only recycling containers. The closest purple container to the Mews is at Providence Community Center (3001 Vaden Dr., Fairfax, VA 22031).
2. Place used glass in the trash.

If you have any questions, please contact the CMCA Board.
