Food Waste Composting Drop-Off Center at Landfill

Loudoun County accepts food waste at the Food Waste Composting Drop-Off Center at the landfill. The one-year pilot program, launched in November 2023, is intended for residents who are interested in composting their household food scraps such as fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy products, pasta, eggshells and coffee grounds. Quantities accepted are limited to one 5-gallon container or an equivalent amount, per customer, per week.

Landfill Temporarily Stops Accepting Tires 

The Loudoun County Solid Waste Management Facility temporarily stopped accepting waste tires at the county landfill effective September 26, 2023, because the facility had reached its permitted limit for scrap tires. Updates will be posted here.

Propane Tank Information

The landfill accepts propane tanks for recycling for a fee. The landfill accepts tanks from 1 to 20 pounds, including standard gas grill-sized propane tanks as well as smaller tanks commonly used for camping stoves and propane torches. Empty tanks as well as any containing propane are accepted for $3 each plus the facility's $7 minimum per vehicle. While disposal of smaller empty tanks may be an option through regular household refuse collection service, empty or filled tanks brought to the landfill can be safely managed for recycling.
