Herndon, VA Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

The Town of Herndon provides bulk item collection as part of residential service, but residents must call or submit an online request to schedule pickup rather than simply placing items at the curb. Accepted bulk items include sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs, dressers, tables, grills with tanks removed, bicycles, and small consumer electronics. Appliances containing refrigerants such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers require refrigerant evacuation by a certified technician, and the unit must display a sticker or tag certifying removal before the Town will collect it; alternatively, Fairfax County accepts these at the I-66 Transfer Station. Items NOT accepted in bulk curbside include construction and demolition debris, concrete, bricks, dirt, sod, automotive parts, tires, propane tanks, hazardous waste, and large quantities of yard waste outside seasonal programs. Residents undertaking renovation projects must contract with private haulers or rent dumpsters, which require Right-of-Way permits if placed on Town streets. Bulk items must be set out at the curb on the scheduled day only, not earlier, to prevent blight and illegal dumping.
