Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Dranesville.

Dranesville is mostly detached, owner-occupied homes along and south of Route 7, so for most projects the decision is simply which bin fits the driveway. Nothing here is run by a town: Fairfax County and VDOT set the rules, and your Herndon mailing address does not put you under the Town of Herndon unless the house is actually inside town limits. A big yard or brush cleanup may cost less hauled by pickup to the County's I-66 Transfer Station.

The first decision in Dranesville

Start with an eligible hauler.

None of the three companies posts a price. Bin There Dump That offers the most compact bins (4 to 20 yards, no longer than 11 ft) on a typical 7-day rental. Selective Hauling rents only 22-ft 20- and 30-yard boxes but allows 20 days before rental fees start and states a 10-ton load limit. American Disposal adds a 40-yard option and is the only one on Fairfax County's published permitted-collector list.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm your house is in unincorporated Fairfax County rather than inside the Town of Herndon or over the Loudoun County line, since a Herndon mailing address alone does not tell you which rules apply.
  2. Plan to keep the bin on your driveway; if it has to go on the street, call VDOT's Fairfax permits section (703-259-1773) about a single use permit first, and avoid staging it on Leesburg Pike or Georgetown Pike.
  3. Ask the rental company for its Fairfax County solid waste permit, measure your driveway against a 22-ft box if you are considering Selective Hauling, and if your subdivision has a homeowners' association, check its rules on temporary containers.

Driveway first; a VDOT permit question if the bin must go on the street

Dranesville has no town hall and no dumpster-specific permit from Fairfax County was found. Because most lots here are detached homes with their own driveways, keeping the bin on private pavement avoids the right-of-way altogether. Public subdivision streets in Fairfax County are generally state roads, and anything placed in their right-of-way falls under VDOT land use permits. VDOT's regulation allows trash receptacles on non-limited-access highways under a single use permit, placed as near the right-of-way line as possible and with written permission from adjacent owners (24VAC30-151-640); the single use permit application fee is $100 (24VAC30-151-710). The regulation does not name roll-off dumpsters, so ask VDOT's Fairfax and Arlington permits section (4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax; 703-259-1773) before putting a bin on the street, and avoid Leesburg Pike or another busy arterial. On the lot, the County's zoning limits for portable storage containers (Zoning Ordinance 4102.8.H: 30 consecutive days per six months on detached lots of 36,000 sq ft or less, 60 days on larger lots, 7 days for townhouses; 8.5 ft tall; not on streets or sidewalks) cover enclosed household-goods containers; the Zoning Ordinance has no dumpster or roll-off text, and whether the County applies this rule, or its front-yard outdoor-storage limit (4102.1), to a short debris rental was not confirmed. If the house sits inside the Town of Herndon or across the line in Loudoun County, that jurisdiction's rules apply instead.

What matters locally

Self-haul option: County resident rates at the I-66 Transfer Station (July 2026 to June 2027)

Dranesville residents' nearest County drop-off is the I-66 Transfer Station at 4618 West Ox Road in Fairfax, south of the community; the same resident fees apply there and at the I-95 Landfill Complex. Trash runs $98 a ton with a $39 minimum, or $21 for 1 to 5 bags and $28 for 6 to 10 bags. Brush is $59 a ton ($39 minimum), or $20 for a mini pickup and $28 for a full-size pickup without a rack, which suits the tree and shrub cleanups common on larger Dranesville lots. Brick, concrete, dirt and rock cost $109 a ton ($49 minimum), limited to 2 cubic yards per household per day. Sofas, mattress sets, carpet and similar large items are $17 each, refrigerant appliances $15 and passenger tires $14. Bring a driver's license, tax bill or utility bill showing Fairfax County residency.

Keep paint, chemicals and electronics out of the bin

Oil-based paint, pesticides and herbicides, fluorescent bulbs and other mercury items, plus TVs, computers and other electronics, go to the household hazardous waste and e-waste area at the I-66 Transfer Station. That area is closed Wednesdays and opens only from noon to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays; other days it follows the station's resident hours. The station also takes scrap metal, motor oil, car batteries and cooking oil for recycling and offers free double-shredded mulch.

Check the source

An open-top roll-off is for debris, not household garbage

Fairfax County Code § 109.1-5-6 sets standards for refuse containers, roll-offs included: containers used for refuse need tight-fitting lids kept closed when not in use, and open-top containers may not be used to collect, store or haul refuse or putrescible items. Roll-offs must carry reflectors, and containers of 2 cubic yards or more must show the owner's name, phone and accepted materials. Load a rented open-top bin with remodeling, roofing, yard and cleanout debris, and keep bagged kitchen trash in your regular service.

Questions about renting in Dranesville.

My address says Herndon. Do Town of Herndon dumpster rules apply in Dranesville?

Usually not. Dranesville is an unincorporated census-designated place that borders the Town of Herndon to the southwest, and homes there commonly carry a Herndon mailing address; the County even lists the historic Dranesville Tavern on Leesburg Pike with a Herndon address. Outside the town limits, Fairfax County ordinances and VDOT road rules govern a rental bin, so check your property's jurisdiction before relying on Town guidance.

Can I park a roll-off on the street in front of my Dranesville house?

Only after checking with VDOT. Most public subdivision streets in Fairfax County are state-maintained, and VDOT's rules allow trash receptacles in the right-of-way only under a single use permit, set close to the right-of-way line with written consent from adjacent owners; the application fee is $100. The rule does not mention roll-offs by name and no separate County street-dumpster permit was found, so contact VDOT's Fairfax and Arlington permits section first, or keep the bin on your own driveway.
