Food Waste Composting Drop-Off Center Opens at Landfill

In November 2023, Loudoun County began accepting food waste at the Food Waste Composting Drop-Off Center at the landfill. This is a one-year pilot program intended for residents who are interested in composting their household food scraps such as fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy products, pasta, eggshells and coffee grounds. Quantities accepted are limited to one 5-gallon container or an equivalent amount, per customer, per week.

The Loudoun County Solid Waste Management Facility will temporarily stop accepting waste tires at the county landfill effective Tuesday, September 26, 2023. The landfill must temporarily suspend accepting all types of tires because the facility has reached its permitted limit for scrap tires. The temporary stoppage is expected to last two to three weeks. Updates will be posted here.
