Dumpster rental
in Reston.

Reston has no town hall, so a dumpster here answers to Fairfax County, VDOT and, often, a cluster or homeowners' association. Detached homes with a long driveway can usually take any of the bins offered; townhouse and cluster-home owners should first find out whether the parking court is cluster property and what the association allows, and lean toward a short bin. Small, bag-sized cleanouts may be cheaper to drive to the County's I-66 Transfer Station.

The first decision in Reston

Start with an eligible hauler.

None of the three suppliers publishes a price. Bin There Dump That rents the smallest bins (4 to 20 yards, all 11 ft long or less) on a typical 7-day rental. Selective Hauling rents only 22-ft, 20- and 30-yard boxes but allows 20 days before rental fees and lists a Gaithersburg yard address. American Disposal's 15-yard box is 14 ft long, and it is the only one of the three on the County's published permitted-collector list.

Your local checklist
  1. Check whether the spot where the bin will sit is a cluster-owned street or parking court; if it is, get the cluster or Reston Association's written okay before delivery, and if it is a VDOT street, ask VDOT's Fairfax land use permit office whether you need a single use permit.
  2. If you live in a townhouse, ask the County zoning office whether its 7-day limit for portable storage containers on townhouse lots applies to an open-top debris roll-off, and schedule a short rental if unsure.
  3. Ask the rental company for its Fairfax County solid waste permit, since County Code requires one for anyone collecting waste, and the County's published hauler list does not show roll-off-only rental firms; keep bagged household trash and food waste out of an open-top bin (County Code § 109.1-5-6).

Driveway, cluster parking court or VDOT street: three different gatekeepers

No Fairfax County permit specific to a dumpster on a public street was found, and none was found for Reston. Most public residential streets in Fairfax County are state roads, where VDOT's land use permit regulations allow trash receptacles on non-limited-access highways under a single use permit (24VAC30-151-640), set as close to the right-of-way line as possible and with written permission from adjacent owners; the single use permit application fee is $100 (24VAC30-151-710). The regulation does not mention temporary roll-offs by name, so ask VDOT's Fairfax/Arlington land use permit office (NOVAFairfaxPermits@VDOT.Virginia.gov, 4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax) before placing a bin on a state street. Many Reston cluster streets and parking lots are privately owned by the cluster, so permission there comes from the cluster association, not VDOT. On the lot itself, the County zoning limits on portable storage containers (Zoning Ordinance 4102.8.H: 30 days in six months on detached-home lots of 36,000 sq ft or less, 7 days on townhouse lots, 8.5 ft high, not on streets or sidewalks) apply to fully enclosed, box-like storage containers for household goods; the County text does not say whether an open-top debris roll-off counts. County outdoor-storage rules (4102.1) bar outdoor storage in front yards in residential districts; whether Code Compliance treats a short-term roll-off in a driveway as outdoor storage was not confirmed.

Bring proof of Fairfax County residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill. Unbagged trash is $98 a ton with a $39 minimum, or flat fees of $21 for 1 to 5 bags and $28 for 6 to 10 bags.

Sofas, mattresses, carpet and similar large items are $17 each; refrigerant appliances $15; passenger tires $14.

Paint, chemicals and electronics go to the I-66 HHW drop-off, not the bin

Household hazardous waste such as oil-based paint, pesticides and fluorescent bulbs, plus TVs, computers and other electronics, are taken at the I-66 Transfer Station's household hazardous waste area, which is closed Wednesdays and opens at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The same site takes metals, used motor oil, car batteries and cooking oil for recycling and gives residents free double-shredded mulch. Keep these items out of a rented roll-off.

An open roll-off is a debris bin under County Code

Fairfax County Code § 109.1-5-6 sets standards for every refuse container, roll-offs included: a container used for refuse must have a tight-fitting lid kept closed when not in use, and open-top containers may not be used to collect, store or haul refuse or other putrescible items. Roll-offs also need reflectors, and containers of 2 cubic yards or more must show the owner's name, phone number and accepted materials. In practice an open-top roll-off is for construction, remodeling and cleanout debris; bagged household garbage and food waste belong in your regular trash service or a lidded container.

Questions about renting in Reston.

Who gives permission to put a dumpster on a Reston street?

It depends on who owns the street. Many Reston cluster streets and parking courts are private property of the cluster association, so its board decides. On a public street, which in Fairfax County is usually a state road, VDOT's land use permit rules allow trash receptacles under a single use permit ($100 application fee), placed near the edge of the right-of-way with adjacent owners' written permission. No separate County dumpster-on-street permit was found, and Reston has no town government to issue one.

Is the County about to take over trash collection in Reston and limit which companies can serve me?

Not at present. A staff proposal to divide the County into service areas, each with one County-contracted hauler for single-family and townhouse trash, was effectively shelved by the Board's Environment Committee in May 2026. A supervisor asked in July 2026 for another look, but no vote was taken, and the proposal as reported covered household trash and recycling, not roll-off rentals. Today private haulers serve most homes, and roll-off companies need a County solid waste permit.
