Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in George Mason.

Around George Mason University, the private houses sit in a handful of subdivisions off Ox Road, Braddock Road and Shirley Gate Road, and a roll-off there falls under Fairfax County rules unless the lot is actually inside the City of Fairfax. Homeowners with a driveway can choose between short 4- to 20-yard bins and 22-ft contractor boxes; students and renters should leave the bin to the university or landlord. The County's I-66 Transfer Station on West Ox Road is close enough that small cleanouts may be cheaper to haul yourself.

The first decision in George Mason

Start with an eligible hauler.

No supplier posts a price for Fairfax. Bin There Dump That offers the shortest bins (4 to 20 yards, 11 ft or less) on a typical 7-day rental. Selective Hauling has only 22-ft 20- and 30-yard boxes but gives 20 days before rental fees and states a 10-ton load cap. American Disposal's smallest box is a 14-ft 15-yard; it is the only one of the three on the County's permitted-collector list, but its site shows no street address.

Your local checklist
  1. Check the City of Fairfax line before booking: a Fairfax 22030 address north of the CDP may be inside the City, which has its own dumpster rules, while lots in George Mason Forest, Fairfax Villa and University Park fall under Fairfax County.
  2. In George Mason Forest, ask the homeowners association's board or architectural committee whether a temporary roll-off needs approval and for how long; its rules are not on the public pages.
  3. Plan the bin for your driveway rather than Ox Road, Braddock Road or a subdivision street, and if the street is unavoidable, contact VDOT's Fairfax permits office about a single use permit first; ask the hauler for its Fairfax County solid waste permit.

Keep the bin on your driveway; Ox Road and Braddock Road are VDOT arterials

No Fairfax County permit written specifically for a dumpster on a public street was found, and there is no town office in George Mason to issue one. Ox Road (Route 123) and Braddock Road are busy state highways, and the neighborhood streets of Fairfax Villa, University Park and George Mason Forest are likely state-maintained, as most Fairfax County subdivision streets are, but confirm whether yours is public or private. Virginia's land use permit regulation lets VDOT authorize trash receptacles on non-limited-access state roads under a single use permit, set as close to the right-of-way line as possible and only with written approval from adjoining owners (24VAC30-151-640); the single use application fee is $100 (24VAC30-151-710). The rule does not name temporary roll-offs, and VDOT's Fairfax and Arlington permits page lists no dumpster category, so ask that office (4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax; 703-259-1773) before setting a bin on any public street. On your own lot, the nearest County zoning rule is the portable storage container section (Zoning Ordinance 4102.8.H: 30 consecutive days per six months on detached lots of 36,000 sq ft or less, 7 days for townhouses and multifamily, not on streets or sidewalks), which is written for enclosed household-goods boxes; the County text does not say whether an open debris roll-off is covered. The County's outdoor-storage rule bars outdoor storage in residential front yards; whether Code Compliance would treat a short driveway rental as outdoor storage was not confirmed. University streets and lots are campus property, not a place to drop a private bin.

What matters locally

The County's I-66 Transfer Station is the drop-off closest to campus (rates July 2026 to June 2027)

Fairfax County's I-66 Transfer Station at 4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax takes resident loads seven days a week (7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends) with proof of County residency. Loose trash is weighed at $98 a ton ($39 minimum); 1 to 5 bags cost $21 and 6 to 10 bags $28. Brick, concrete, dirt and rock cost $109 a ton ($49 minimum) and are limited to 2 cubic yards per household per day, toilets and tubs included. Sofas, mattresses, carpet and similar pieces are $17 each, refrigerant appliances $15 and passenger tires $14. For one room's worth of junk, a pickup run here can beat a bin rental.

Hazardous leftovers and electronics: I-66 HHW area, not the bin

Oil-based paint, pesticides, mercury thermometers and fluorescent tubes, along with TVs, computers and cords, go to the household hazardous waste and e-waste area at the same I-66 site. That area is closed Wednesdays and opens only at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so plan a cleanout trip around those hours. The site also recycles metal, motor oil, car batteries and cooking oil, and gives residents free double-shredded mulch.

County container standards: open roll-offs carry debris, not garbage

Fairfax County Code § 109.1-5-6 says any container used for refuse needs a tight-fitting lid kept shut, and open-top containers may not be used to collect, store or haul refuse or putrescible waste. It also requires reflectors on roll-offs and the owner's name, phone and accepted materials on containers of 2 cubic yards or more. In short, an open roll-off parked at a George Mason Forest or Fairfax Villa house should hold remodeling and cleanout debris; kitchen garbage stays with your regular trash service.

Questions about renting in George Mason.

My address says Fairfax. Does the City of Fairfax or Fairfax County decide the rules for my dumpster?

It depends on which side of the city line the lot sits. The George Mason CDP lies south and southwest of the City of Fairfax, and its homes and the university campus share Fairfax 22030 or 22032 mailing addresses with City residents. Inside the CDP there is no town government, so Fairfax County's solid waste code and zoning apply, along with VDOT on state roads. If your property is inside the City limits, the City's own code governs instead, and this guide does not cover it.

Can the rental company leave the bin on the street in front of my house near campus?

Only with care and, on a public road, likely with VDOT's say-so. Virginia's land use permit rules allow trash receptacles on non-limited-access state roads under a single use permit ($100 application fee), placed as near the right-of-way edge as possible and with written approval from adjoining owners. VDOT's Fairfax and Arlington permits office on Alliance Drive handles these applications, though its page does not list a dumpster category. The County's portable-container rule also keeps storage boxes off streets and sidewalks, so a driveway is the simpler spot.
