  • Prince William County Code requires all businesses and other non-residential properties that produce trash or recycling in the County to report their activities to the Department of Public Works by October 15 of each year. The Solid Waste Division of Public Works uses the information to comply with recycling reporting requirements established by the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

    Please note: Home-based businesses do not need to complete the report.  Businesses located within the cities or towns do not need to complete the report.

    The Business Recycling Report Survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete online and a confirmation email will be issued. The report should be completed by the person who is most familiar with trash and recycling collection for the property or business.

    To help you complete the survey, here are some frequently asked questions and answers.
