Fairfax County Dump — I-66 Transfer Station & I-95 Landfill Hours, Fees & Rules
Fairfax County has two disposal centers for residents: the I-66 Transfer Station on West Ox Road in Fairfax and the I-95 Landfill Complex in Lorton. Both are open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. There's no free allowance: residents pay $21 for 1 to 5 bags of trash, or $98 a ton for loose loads.
Bring proof of Fairfax County residency, such as a driver's license, state ID, property tax bill or utility bill. The rates on this page are the residents' rates for July 2026 to June 2027; businesses and haulers are on the County's separate commercial schedule.
Heading to I-95? Since Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, the Furnace Road entrance has been closed permanently, and all traffic uses the main Mordor Drive entrance. Coming from Lorton Road, Mordor Drive is on your right just before Furnace Road passes under I-95; from Richmond Highway, it's on your left right after you pass under I-95. The County says to allow at least ten extra minutes.

A “bag” means a standard 32-gallon trash bag or can. Bagged waste is charged by the bag; loose loads are weighed. You can ask to be charged by weight instead, and the County can choose to weigh any load.

Brush in a pickup gets the flat rate only if it isn't heaped above the cab or past the closed tailgate; otherwise it's weighed. Most recyclables are free at both sites.
How the scales work, and the $185 mistake
If you're only bringing bags or priced items, skip the scale line. For a weighed load, you cross the scale loaded, unload, then cross it again empty; you pay for the difference. Skip the second weigh and the County estimates your empty weight and bills you for it — and if it has to chase the fee, it adds a $185 penalty.
Household hazardous waste is free for residents, but it and electronics are taken on shorter hours than the trash area: I-66 takes them six days a week (not Wednesday), I-95 only on Wednesday and Saturday. Propane tanks go to the hazardous waste area and cost $15 each for a 20-pound tank. The County grinds brush into free double-shredded mulch for residents, usually available at both sites; call ahead to confirm.
Searching from Lorton, the finder may list the Rainwater landfill on Richmond Highway first. It's a private construction-debris landfill, not a County site; for household trash, residents want I-95 or I-66.
The I-95 Landfill Complex in Lorton is open for trash Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hazardous waste and electronics are taken there only on Wednesday (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Saturday (7 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Since October 10, 2026, the only way in is the main Mordor Drive entrance.
How much does it cost to dump at the Fairfax County dump?
Residents pay $21 for 1 to 5 bags of trash and $28 for 6 to 10, or $98 a ton with a $39 minimum for loose loads (July 2026 to June 2027). Furniture and mattresses are $17 an item, refrigerant appliances $15 and tires $14 each. Most recyclables are free.
What are the I-66 Transfer Station hours?
Trash and recycling: Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hazardous waste and electronics are taken every day except Wednesday, noon to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.
Is the Furnace Road entrance to the I-95 landfill closed?
Yes. Fairfax County permanently closed the Furnace Road entrance on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Use the main Mordor Drive entrance, off Furnace Road by the I-95 underpass, and allow at least ten extra minutes.
Can non-residents use the Fairfax County dump?
The resident rates require proof of Fairfax County residency, such as a driver's license, state ID, property tax bill or utility bill. Businesses and haulers use the County's commercial disposal schedule.
