Stafford provides twice-weekly residential garbage collection through GFL Environmental on either Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday routes, with recycling and yard waste collected once weekly on the second pickup day.
Under Chapter 74 of the Stafford Code of Ordinances and the city's contract with GFL Environmental, residential solid waste service is provided twice each week. Households are assigned either a Monday and Thursday route or a Tuesday and Friday route based on address. Recycling and green/yard/brush waste are collected once per week on the second scheduled pickup day. Stafford residents use GFL-provided carts and may verify their pickup day through the city's interactive GIS map.
Setting out non-conforming containers, mixing prohibited materials, or repeatedly missing collection windows may result in non-collection and notice from the city's solid waste contractor.
