Winchester Landfill — Frederick County Regional Landfill Hours & Fees
Winchester's landfill is the Frederick County Regional Landfill on Landfill Road, which takes waste only from Frederick County, Clarke County and the City of Winchester. The scales are open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and construction debris is $58 a ton.

City of Winchester trash, large items and cleanup days
Winchester's curbside trash cart can't take appliances, furniture, lumber, large items, tires, construction debris or yard waste. For big items, request a large item collection through the City's online form, or wait for your ward's Annual Cleanup Day, when residents with City trash service can set out almost anything, including furniture, construction debris, old paint and electronics, at no extra charge. The next dates are Ward 3 on Oct. 5, 2026, Ward 4 on Jan. 4, 2027 and Ward 1 on April 5, 2027. Register by 11:59 p.m. the day before, set items out by 6 a.m., and don't put them out more than 24 hours early.
Yard waste is collected Fridays from mid-March to mid-January: up to five paper bags, open containers or bundles a week, with limbs 3 inches across or less, bundles no longer than 4 feet, and nothing over 75 pounds. There's no limit during leaf season if you use biodegradable bags.
