Trash/Recycling/Yard Waste Collection

American Disposal Service (ADS) - (703) 368-0500

BURKE CENTRE COLLECTION GUIDELINES

  1. Trash must be placed in trash cans and put at the curb by no later than 7:00 a.m. on the morning of the scheduled collection, and not earlier than the evening before the scheduled collection day.
  2. Please make note that no paint, motor oil, insecticide or other toxic/hazardous material (or container) will be collected.

Please note per the Burke Centre Conservancy’s Architectural Standards: “for health and aesthetic reasons trash shall be put out in closed, rodent-proof containers...” ADS will pick up trash disposed of in plastic bags, however, the Conservancy guidelines require that all trash be placed in rodent-proof containers. Plastic bags are not considered rodent-proof unless they are deposited into a metal or plastic container with a lid.

All trash cans should be clearly marked with the house number to help the Conservancy staff narrow down and identify homes in neighborhoods where it can be challenging to identify who is responsible for improper disposal of trash in plastic bags.

For service complaints and to request special pickups, please contact ADS at (703) 368-0500. You are encouraged to also report complaints to the Conservancy office for tracking purposes. Please call the office with any questions at (703) 978-2928.
