Fairfax County, in the Washington, DC area, publishes one of the most detailed residential schedules we read. For its fiscal year 2027, from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027, trash at the I-66 Transfer Station and the I-95 Landfill Complex is $98 a ton, with three minimums by size of vehicle: $39, $49 and $98. Small amounts can be paid by the bag instead: $21 for one to 5 bags, $28 for up to 10, and a lower rate for residents aged 60 and over bringing one or two. Brush, yard waste and heavy debris such as brick, concrete and shingles each have their own rate per ton. A mattress or box spring is $17, an appliance needing refrigerant or capacitor removal $15, a tire $14. Proof of county residency may be requested.

The bag rate is the cheapest way to get rid of a little trash: five bags cost less than the smallest weighed minimum. Brush is cheaper still if it is kept apart, at $59 a ton or $28 for a pickup. White goods that need no refrigerant removal, such as a washer or a stove, are charged by the ton like scrap. Ten tires a visit is the limit at the tire price.
