Dumpster Days By the Numbers

Prince William County Neighborhood Services and Solid Waste Divisions worked with Prince William Board of County Supervisors staff to plan and host 10 Dumpster Day events in 2022. 

These events allow county residents, neighborhoods and community groups to safely and conveniently dispose of unwanted household items at various locations throughout the county. Residents are encouraged to work together to clean up common areas, organize litter pickups clean up streams, lakes and waterways in their neighborhoods.
