New Trash & Recycling Schedule Starts on Monday, July 2,
2018
Patriot Disposal Services is the Town’s new trash hauler.
Leesburg, VA (June 14, 2018) – At their meeting on Tuesday, June 12, 2018, the Leesburg Town
Council awarded the Town’s solid waste disposal contract to Patriot Disposal Services. The new
contract begins on July 1, 2018.
Under the new contract, residents will receive trash, recycling, yard waste, and bulk item
collection once a week. Collection days are changing for most residents. The new collection
schedule is:
Trash and Recycling:
o Northwest Leesburg: Mondays
o Northeast Leesburg, inside the bypass: Tuesdays
o Northeast Leesburg, outside the bypass: Wednesdays
o Southwest Leesburg, plus Meadowbrook: Thursdays
o Southeast Leesburg, except Meadowbrook: Fridays
Yard Waste
o Townwide on Mondays
Bulk Items (by request only)
o Townwide on Wednesdays
In order to accommodate this schedule, there are some changes to the collections areas. See
the collection area map below. The biggest change is that Northeast Leesburg has been divided
into two collection areas, one inside the bypass and one outside the b ypass. In addition, the
Meadowbrook Farm neighborhood has been added to the Southwest collection area. Residents
who are unsure of their collection area can look up their street name on the Town website at
www.leesburgva.gov/trash or call 703-771-2790.
Later this summer, each residence will receive a black trash toter and a blue recycling toter,
with wheels and attached lids. Single family homes will receive 96 gallon toters and townhomes
will receive 64 gallon toters. At the present time, Town officials expect toters to be delivered
beginning in late July with deliveries completed to all residences by the end of August. Until
toters are issued, residents should continue to use their current trash cans and recycling bins.
Collection schedules for commercial curbside customers are not changing. Commercial curbside
customers will continue to receive trash collection six days a week, Monday through Saturday,
and recycling collection on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
More information about the new services will be posted to the Town website at
www.leesburgva.gov/trash and sent to all residences receiving curbside trash and recycling
collection in the mail.
