Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Franklin Farm.

Franklin Farm is unincorporated, so Town of Herndon permits do not apply despite the Herndon mailing address; the County governs the lot and VDOT governs the street. Detached Franklin Farm homes with a full-length driveway can usually take a full-size roll-off in the driveway, while townhome owners should pick a short bin and check with the Franklin Farm Foundation first. For a few loads of debris, the County's I-66 Transfer Station on West Ox Road may cost less than a rental.

The first decision in Franklin Farm

Start with an eligible hauler.

No supplier publishes a price. Bin There Dump That's Northern Virginia franchise names Franklin Farm and rents short bins from 4 to 20 yards (none over 11 ft long) on a typical 7-day rental. Selective Hauling rents only 22-ft, 20- and 30-yard boxes but allows 20 days before rental fees. American Disposal offers a 14-ft 15-yard box and is the only one on the County's published permitted-collector list, though its pages show no street address.

Your local checklist
  1. Ignore Town of Herndon dumpster permits: confirm your home is in unincorporated Fairfax County (Franklin Farm is), and if the bin must go on the street, email VDOT's Fairfax land use permit office about a single use permit.
  2. Ask the Franklin Farm Foundation, whose rules are behind its resident login, whether a temporary dumpster needs notice or approval and how long it may stay, especially for townhome sections.
  3. Ask the rental company for its Fairfax County solid waste permit and keep bagged household trash and food waste out of an open-top roll-off (County Code § 109.1-5-6).

Large regional hauler with a Herndon, Virginia page (the mailing city; Franklin Farm is not named). The page says no permit is needed on private property, which covers only the lot itself, not a street. No street address appears on the pages read, so it is listed as an extra comparison, not one of the two address-verified suppliers.

Franklin Farm driveways first; VDOT and the Foundation for anything else

No Fairfax County permit for a dumpster on a public street was found, and with no town government there is no local street permit for Franklin Farm. Public streets in Fairfax County subdivisions are generally state roads, and VDOT's land use permit regulation lets trash receptacles sit on non-limited-access highways only under a single use permit (24VAC30-151-640), as close to the right-of-way line as practical and with written consent from adjacent owners; the application fee is $100 (24VAC30-151-710). The regulation does not name temporary roll-offs, so ask VDOT's Fairfax/Arlington land use permit office (NOVAFairfaxPermits@VDOT.Virginia.gov, 4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax) before putting a bin on a street. Whether any Franklin Farm townhouse parking areas are private association property was not confirmed; if a bin would sit on common ground, ask the Franklin Farm Foundation first. On your own lot, the nearest County rule is Zoning Ordinance 4102.8.H for portable storage containers (30 consecutive days in six months on detached-home lots of 36,000 sq ft or less, 7 days on townhouse lots, no more than 8.5 ft high, not on streets, sidewalks or trails). That section covers fully enclosed box containers for household goods and does not mention dumpsters or roll-offs, so treat it as a guide only.

Paint, chemicals and electronics: use the I-66 hazardous waste area

Oil-based paint, pesticides, herbicides, fluorescent tubes, thermometers and electronics such as TVs and computers go to the household hazardous waste and e-waste area at the same I-66 site, which is closed Wednesdays and opens at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Metals, motor oil, car batteries, antifreeze and cooking oil are taken for recycling, and residents can pick up free double-shredded mulch. None of these belong in a rented roll-off.

Check the source

Open-top roll-offs are for debris, not household garbage

Fairfax County Code § 109.1-5-6 governs all refuse containers, roll-offs included: containers holding refuse need tight-fitting lids kept closed, and open-top containers may not be used to collect, store or haul refuse or putrescible items. Roll-offs must carry reflectors, and any container of 2 cubic yards or more must be marked with the owner's name, phone and accepted materials. Use an open bin for renovation and cleanout debris and keep food waste and bagged kitchen trash in your regular service.

Questions about renting in Franklin Farm.

My address says Herndon. Do I need a Town of Herndon dumpster permit?

No. Franklin Farm uses the Herndon ZIP code 20171 but is an unincorporated census-designated place in Fairfax County, outside the Town of Herndon's limits, so Town rules do not reach it. A bin on your own lot falls under County rules; a bin on a public street, which in Fairfax subdivisions is usually a state road, falls under VDOT's land use permit rules, which allow trash receptacles only with a single use permit ($100 application fee) and adjacent owners' written consent.

Does the Franklin Farm Foundation have rules about dumpsters?

We could not tell. The Foundation's public pages describe the community but contain no rules on trash, containers or design review, and its resident sections, including an ongoing governing-document refresh, sit behind a login. Ask the Foundation before delivery. The County's own nearest rule, for enclosed portable storage containers, allows 30 days in six months on detached-home lots of 36,000 sq ft or less and only 7 days on townhouse lots, but it does not mention dumpsters.
