Because Prince William County uses private haulers rather than County collection, cart pickup times and curb-placement rules are set by each permitted hauler's contract, not by a countywide schedule. Containers should be stored on the property between collections and not left creating a nuisance.
Prince William County does not run a curbside program, so there is no single countywide bin set-out time or day. Placement, cart type, and collection schedule are governed by the private hauler you contract with under Chapter 22 (Refuse) of the County Code and the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations. Residents should keep carts stored on their property between pickups and set them out per the hauler's instructions. Uncontained or overflowing refuse and long-term curbside storage of carts can be cited as a property-maintenance nuisance by Neighborhood Services. For self-haul, bulky items and yard waste must be separated and deposited in the designated areas at the landfill.
Uncontained/overflowing refuse and carts left permanently at the curb can be cited as a property-maintenance nuisance; hauler-specific set-out rules govern schedule and placement.
