Holiday Trash Collection

From American Disposal Services:

As we all enter the busy Holiday season, we would like to remind you of the upcoming collection schedule and inclement weather policies.

Yard Debris:  We would like to remind you of our policies on yard debris collection. Please keep in mind, Grass clippings and leaves need to be placed in compostable yard waste bags. Personal cans may be used; however they need to be clearly marked “Yard Debris”. Tree limbs and brush must be no longer than 4‑5 feet in length and 3 inches in diameter. These items must be tied with rope or twine in arm length bundles. We will collect a maximum of 10 bags of grass clippings and / or leaves, and 10 bundles of brush per pickup. Items that are bagged and bundled are not to exceed 50lbs. Concrete; rocks, mulch, sod and dirt are not accepted.

Thanksgiving Day: Office is closed and no service will be provided. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, will be serviced as normal. Thursday and Friday services will be on a one day delay.

Christmas Day & New Year’s Day: Office is closed and no services will be provided. Monday and Tuesday collection will be as normal. Any services scheduled for Wednesday through Friday, service will be on a one day delay.

**Recycling Material during the Holidays** Due to the heavy volume of items during the holiday season, we ask that recycling boxes be broken down to fit inside your container. If you have heavy volume, space your recycling material out between several different collection days.

Christmas Tree Collection: Christmas trees will be collected on your yard waste day for the first two weeks of January. We ask all tinsel and decorations be removed. Please do not place trees in plastic bags.

Inclement Weather: Safety in your community is our primary concern. Roads and/or areas which are deemed unsafe due to snow or ice will be suspended for collection. If suspension occurs, please  visit us on our website at www.americandisposal.com, for any updates to your collection schedule.

Reminders for Winter 

Check ADS’ Website to see if collection is suspended due to weather.
After the holiday season, Christmas trees will be collected on Fridays. We ask that all tinsel and decorations are removed. Please do not place trees in plastic bags.

Safety in your community is ADS’s primary concern. Roads and/or areas which are deemed unsafe due to snow or ice will be suspended for collection. If suspension occurs, services will resume on the next regularly scheduled collection day.

What is accepted in Regular Trash?

Everyday generated trash is household trash, for example, kitchen and bathroom trash. For more information on Household Hazardous Waste contact the Loudoun County Division of Waste Management.

What is accepted in the Recycling collection?

ADS now uses Single Stream Recycling, a new technology that allows participants to place all of their recyclables into one container. This type of recycling eliminates the need to separate glass, paper, cardboard, aluminum, steel, etc. into separate bins; which, in turn eliminates the necessity of multiple collection containers.  ADS – Recycling Questions
