Wakefield driveways first; a VDOT permit question for the street

Because Wakefield is mostly detached houses with private driveways, the simplest spot for a bin is usually your own driveway. If it must go on the street, note that most Fairfax County subdivision streets are state roads: VDOT's land use permit rules allow trash receptacles on non-limited-access highways under a single use permit ($100 application fee), placed as close to the right-of-way line as possible and only with written permission from adjacent owners (24VAC30-151-640 and -710). That regulation does not name temporary roll-offs, and no separate Fairfax County dumpster-on-street permit was found, so call VDOT's Fairfax/Arlington land use permit office (NOVAFairfaxPermits@VDOT.Virginia.gov, 4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax) before using the street. Busier roads that border or cross the community, such as Braddock Road, Little River Turnpike and Wakefield Chapel Road, are poor places for a bin. On the lot, the County Zoning Ordinance has no dumpster or roll-off text; its nearest rule, § 4102.8.H for portable storage containers (30 days in six months on detached lots up to 36,000 sq ft, 7 days on townhouse lots, not on streets or sidewalks), covers enclosed household-goods containers, and whether the County applies it to an open debris roll-off was not confirmed.
