Landfill compost facility closed on Sundays with reduced hours beginning Jan. 9
The Prince William County Landfill and the Balls Ford Road Compost Facility will be closed on Sundays, beginning January 9, after the holiday season, until further notice.
The decision to reduce hours at these facilities was made due to staffing shortages, overtime costs, and escalating COVID-19 safety concerns. These facilities are scheduled to remain open on Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents may also use recycling trailers provided by the Solid Waste Division and located throughout the County as well, the Saturday collection sites are scheduled to be open after News Year’s Day.
