Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in West Falls Church.

Start by confirming your house is in Fairfax County rather than the City of Falls Church, since a shared mailing city hides two different rulebooks. In the County's West Falls Church, most postwar houses have a short driveway that fits a compact 10- or 11-ft bin; a street spot means asking VDOT. If the County already collects your trash, its free special pickups may cover furniture and appliances, leaving a rental for remodeling debris.

The first decision in West Falls Church

Start with an eligible hauler.

Neither supplier publishes a price. Bin There Dump That offers five small sizes, 4 to 20 yards and no more than 11 ft long, on a typical 7-day rental, which suits the narrow driveways here. Selective Hauling rents only 22-ft, 20- and 30-yard boxes with 20 days before rental fees and a stated 10-ton maximum, better for a whole-house gut job on a lot with room for a long container. Neither is on the County's published collector list, so ask both for their County solid waste permit.

Your local checklist
  1. Look up your parcel to confirm it is in Fairfax County and not the City of Falls Church (the boundary follows South Washington Street in places); City addresses use the City's own street-dumpster request instead of the County and VDOT rules described here.
  2. Measure your driveway before choosing a size: a 22-ft box will not fit many 1940s and 1950s driveways in Jefferson Village, Westlawn or Broyhill Park, and placing it on the street means contacting VDOT's Fairfax land use permits office first.
  3. Check the County's 'Who picks my trash' map; if you are a County collection customer, use your free special pickups for furniture, mattresses and appliances and keep the rented bin for construction debris, and in any case ask the rental company for its Fairfax County solid waste permit.

Driveway first; a VDOT street needs VDOT's say, and City streets are a different office

No Fairfax County permit written for dumpsters on public streets was found, and West Falls Church has no local government to issue one. Its subdivision streets are generally state roads: the Westlawn Civic Association, for example, says VDOT maintains all roads and sidewalks in Westlawn. On a non-limited-access state road, VDOT's land use permit regulation allows trash receptacles under a single use permit (24VAC30-151-640), placed as close to the right-of-way line as possible and with written permission 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 permits office (4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax; 703-259-1773; Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.) before putting a bin in the street. On your own lot, the County's portable storage container limits in Zoning Ordinance § 4102.8.H (30 consecutive days in six months on detached-home lots up to 36,000 sq ft, 7 days on townhouse and multifamily lots, 8.5 ft high, never on a street, sidewalk or trail) are written for enclosed household-goods containers; the County text has no dumpster or roll-off wording, so treat it as the closest guide, not a confirmed rule. If your address is inside the City of Falls Church, the City's Department of Public Works handles a separate 'Dumpster or Portable Storage on City Street Request' instead.

What matters locally

Some West Falls Church streets get County trash service, including five free special pickups

About one Fairfax County household in ten is served by the County's own collection crews, and the Westlawn Civic Association says Westlawn is one of those areas. County collection customers get five free special pickups per fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) for furniture, lumber, doors, mattresses, carpet rolls, metal items and appliances, each pile up to 2 cubic yards and items under 6 feet long; construction debris is not taken. Book online or at 703-802-3322 and put items at the curb by 6 a.m. Check your address on the County's 'Who picks my trash' map first: if you are a County customer, a few special pickups may handle a furniture cleanout without renting a bin. Households with a private hauler should ask that company instead.

Self-haul: County resident rates at the I-66 Transfer Station (FY 2027)

Fairfax County residents can drop off at the I-66 Transfer Station, 4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax (trash drop-off 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends), or at the I-95 Landfill Complex, with proof of County residency.

City of Falls Church residents are not County residents for this purpose.

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

Fairfax County Code § 109.1-5-6 says refuse containers need tight-fitting lids kept closed and that open-top containers may not be used to collect, store or haul refuse or other putrescible items; roll-offs must carry reflectors, and containers of 2 cubic yards or more must be marked with the owner's name, phone number and accepted materials. Use the bin for renovation, roofing and cleanout debris and keep food waste and bagged kitchen trash in your regular carts.

Questions about renting in West Falls Church.

My address says Falls Church. Whose dumpster rules apply?

It depends on which side of the city line you are on. The City of Falls Church is an independent city with its own Public Works department, which lists a 'Dumpster or Portable Storage on City Street Request' among its permits. West Falls Church is an unincorporated part of Fairfax County that shares the Falls Church mailing name; there, Fairfax County rules apply on your lot and VDOT controls placement on state-maintained streets, where trash receptacles can be allowed under a single use permit with a $100 application fee.

Can the County haul away my old furniture instead of a rental bin?

Only if Fairfax County is your trash collector, which is true for roughly one household in ten countywide and, according to its civic association, for Westlawn. County customers get five free special pickups each July-to-June year, with piles up to 2 cubic yards and items under 6 feet; construction debris is excluded. Everyone else can haul items to the I-66 Transfer Station, where large items such as sofas and mattresses are $17 each for County residents, or ask their private hauler.
