Trash pickup for the community is on Monday and Thursday mornings. Recycling is picked up on Mondays. Yard waste** pickup is on Wednesdays. One exception is the week of the Thanksgiving Holiday, when the trash pickup is moved to Friday.
Trash/recycling/yard waste may be put out at the designated pick up locations after 5:00 pm the day before scheduled pickup. Empty trash/recycling containers should be promptly removed from the designated pick up locations.

Regular trash/recycling disposal is a service provided by the Old Mill Community Association, and contracted to Republic Services. However, if you need help disposing of large items or large amounts of debris, please contact Republic Services directly at 703-818-8222, as they may not pick up items not covered by our current contract (there may be additional fees to the resident).
