At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Fairfax, Virginia, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards, from Old Town and the blocks around the courthouse out through Green Acres, Mosby Woods and the Fairfax Circle corridor. The City is a compact independent jurisdiction of about six square miles with very little raw land left, so the construction here is replacement work: mid-century houses taken back to the studs, commercial fit-outs along Main Street and Lee Highway, and the occasional tear-down and rebuild on a deep lot.
Your price follows container size, the weight of the load, the rental length and the disposal charge at the receiving facility. One thing is worth getting straight before anything else, because it decides which rules apply to your address: the City of Fairfax and Fairfax County are separate jurisdictions with separate codes.

Three things shape the number on a Fairfax job.
Lot size is the first, and it is the quiet constraint in this city. Old Town blocks and the older subdivisions have short driveways and narrow frontages, so the question is often not which container you want but which one will fit without touching the street. Getting that right at the quote stage saves a wasted delivery.
Street occupation is the second. If a container has to sit in a City right-of-way, the City Manager's office issues a temporary use permit, and the permit cannot run beyond 30 total days unless it is extended or reissued. A fee may be charged. A driveway or parking lot placement avoids the permit, the fee and the clock.
Weight is the third. Fairfax remodels produce a lot of plaster, old tile and brick from mid-century construction, and dense material reaches a weight allowance while the container still looks usable. Your account manager prices the material rather than the volume alone.

Choose for the material, then measure the driveway, because frontage is the real limit here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right container for brick, plaster, concrete or soil, and its short footprint also makes it the one that fits where nothing else will.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a bathroom strip-out, a basement clearing or a modest deck removal.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual choice for a roof tear-off or a remodel spanning several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house renovation or a commercial fit-out producing ceiling grid, carpet, partitions and cabinetry together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is normally a commercial container here, because few City lots have room for it beside a house.
Send your account manager the project description and the driveway length, and they will tell you the largest container that will sit entirely on your own ground.
On private property, a driveway, a parking lot or a fenced site, the City of Fairfax does not require a container permit. There is no container provision in the City code at all, and the word does not appear anywhere in the chapters covering businesses, streets or the environment. Firm, level ground and plywood under the rails is the whole of it.
For a City street or sidewalk, there is a specific route and it is worth knowing its shape. The City Manager may close all or part of a City right-of-way to allow a temporary use for other than public purposes, under a written permit that names the location, the approved use and the duration, and the duration cannot exceed 30 total days unless the permit is extended or reissued. A fee may be charged, and the manager has to be satisfied the closure will not unduly interfere with public convenience and safety.
Two other City provisions look like the route and are not. The excavation permit covers breaking, digging up or opening a street or sidewalk, and a container placed on the surface opens nothing, so it is not caught. The limited private encroachment article covers landscaping, entryway signage and similar minor structures, and the first thing the City weighs is whether the request is civic rather than commercial. Your account manager settles the real position with the City before a truck is dispatched.
On licensing, Fairfax has no waste hauler class of its own: the solid waste chapter defines a collector and then never licenses one. What applies is Virginia's ordinary business license, which the City requires of anyone conducting a business here and will not issue while city taxes are outstanding.
Ordinary construction and household debris is just what these containers are for.
Nothing hazardous has a place in a standard container: no liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos. Tires need separate handling, and appliances and electronics should be named at booking.
The City's own collection service is much narrower, and one line in it explains why a project needs a container. Alongside the usual refusals of asbestos, poisons, acids, explosives and hot ashes, the City will not collect brush, yard waste or debris resulting from work performed by private contractors. If a contractor generated it, City collection is not the route.
The City also defines unacceptable waste by reference to county rules for county disposal sites as well as its own code and state law, which is a useful reminder that the receiving facility has the final say on a load. Your account manager will set out what the facility wants kept separate.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Fairfax City waste goes into the Fairfax County disposal network, which the County owns and runs through its Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, with its own permit office on site.
The nearest site is the I-66 Transfer Station, 4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, which answers on 703-631-1179. Trash and recycling are taken on weekdays between 7 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon, and at weekends until 4, with the permit office open on weekdays from 8 until half past four. Despite the Fairfax postal address, it is a County facility rather than a City one, which is a distinction worth holding on to when you are reading rules.
Further south, the County also runs the I-95 Landfill Complex at Lorton, on 703-690-1703, on similar hours. The County has announced a permanent closure of the Furnace Road entrance while still publishing that address, so if you are heading there yourself, call ahead and confirm the way in. For a container, you do not need to: your account manager confirms the destination and the receiving hours before the delivery is scheduled.
4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030
Fairfax County facility. Trash and recycling Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most Fairfax rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The transfer station is close, so turnaround here is quick once the placement is settled.
Five things that keep a Fairfax delivery on track:
Access timing is the local wrinkle. Around the courthouse and the Old Town blocks, the easiest delivery window is mid-morning once the commuter traffic has cleared, and your account manager will aim for it where the schedule allows.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole City of Fairfax, from Old Town and the courthouse blocks through Green Acres, Mosby Woods, Country Club Hills and the Fairfax Circle corridor, and we work the surrounding county on the same daily schedule. Alexandria is close enough that we cover it on the same runs.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the material and the driveway, keep it off the City right-of-way where we can, and confirm the receiving facility and its hours before delivery.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
A 10-yard is priced $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899, each over a five day period. Weight and the transfer station charge move the final figure most, and dense demolition material moves it fastest. Your account manager settles the tonnage allowance and the overage rate as part of the Fairfax quote.
For a real project, no. The City will not collect contractor-generated debris at the curb at all, so self hauling means repeated runs to the county transfer station and unloading each time. One container turns that into a single delivery and a single collection.
Yes. A three seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of cartons. Soft furniture uses space rather than weight, which is why a small container still handles a big cleanout.
Nothing hazardous at all, so no liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos, and tires go separately. Poisons, acids and explosives are out as well. Appliances and electronics should be named at booking so they reach the right part of the facility.
Our 10-yard runs $399 to $499, and in this city it is often the practical choice as well as the lowest priced, because it is the one that fits a short Old Town driveway without any part of it reaching the street.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around the delivery, the collection and the disposal rather than the nights on site. The exception is a container sitting in the City right-of-way, where the permit has its own clock. Ask your account manager.
Framing, drywall, plaster, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture and cardboard all go in, along with the ordinary contents of a house. Clean concrete and brick are welcome, and a hard load on its own is usually the cheaper route. Let us know about anything unexpected before you start loading.
