Please check the recycling collection schedule to determine your recycling day. Containers must be placed at the curb by 6am.
Commingled Recyclables consisting of aluminum, cans, plastics and paper are generally collected as residential recycling (glass should not be placed out for curbside recycling). The town contracts with Republic Services for recyclable material recovery. Please visit Republic Services short video, Recycling Simplified, for a list of acceptable and non acceptable items for recycling.
Helpful Recycling Tips
Glass - A purple glass-only drop-off container is located at the entrance of 1479 Sterling Road and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Only glass will be accepted at this drop off location. Collecting glass separately in a purple container will reduce contamination levels in single-stream recycling. All colors of clean glass bottles and jars are accepted in the purple containers. Glass items not accepted include lamps, light bulbs, ceramics, porcelain, mirrors, windows, and sheet glass. Residents are encourage to bring their recyclable glass to the purple container, reuse glass containers or if not possible, glass should be placed in the trash for disposal.
Electronic Recycling - Please visit Fairfax County's website for more information on drop off locations.
Herndon Residents are advised to take full advantage of the existing curbside recycling as the town does not maintain a recycling drop off.
