Always verify your exact schedule with your HOA or your contracted private hauler's website, as they may observe additional holidays like Memorial Day or Labor Day.

Glass is not accepted in curbside recycling anywhere in Prince William County. Take all jars and bottles to the purple drop-off bins located throughout the region.
No Plastic Bags

About Linton Hall Waste Management
Navigating HOA and Private Trash Services in Linton Hall
In the unincorporated community of Linton Hall, residential trash and recycling are typically managed through Homeowners Associations (HOAs) or private subscription services. All contracted waste haulers operating in the area must strictly comply with the overarching Prince William County Solid Waste ordinances. Homeowners must verify their specific pickup days directly with their community's contracted provider, such as Patriot Disposal or Disposal Services, LLC.
Mandatory Yard Waste Separation Rules
Prince William County enforces a strict yard waste separation policy that applies to all Linton Hall properties. From March through December, vegetative debris like grass clippings, leaves, and small brush must be kept entirely separate from household garbage. Residents are required to place these materials in biodegradable paper lawn bags or personal refuse containers clearly labeled 'Yard Waste.' Plastic bags are strictly banned for yard debris, and non-compliance will result in your hauler leaving the bags at the curb.
The Purple Bin Glass Recycling Program
Curbside recycling in Linton Hall no longer accepts glass items. To prevent broken glass from contaminating other recyclable materials, Prince William County requires residents to transport all glass bottles, jugs, and jars to designated drop-off sites. You can utilize the specialized Purple Glass Recycling Containers located throughout the county, including nearby sites like James Long Park or the county landfill, ensuring the glass is properly processed and repurposed.
Proper Preparation of Curbside Recyclables
Your recycling cart is limited to specific household materials under county guidelines. Haulers only accept #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jugs with necks, clean aluminum and steel cans, and mixed paper. Corrugated cardboard must be broken down and flattened to prevent jamming the collection trucks. Importantly, avoid 'wish-cycling'—items like styrofoam, pizza boxes, and plastics numbered #3 through #7 are not accepted and should be placed in your standard household trash.
Handling Bulky Waste and Hazardous Materials
When it is time to clear out bulky furniture, appliances, or hazardous household chemicals, standard weekly curbside service will not suffice. Large item collections usually require advance notice to your private hauler, and strict item limits may apply depending on your HOA. For items like wet paint, motor oil, and tires, Linton Hall residents should take advantage of the Prince William County Landfill and the Balls Ford Road Compost Facility, which offer specialized drop-off days for household hazardous materials.
