The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Winchester collects trash and recycling from every residence on a ward schedule and yard waste citywide on Fridays, all inside the monthly solid waste charge. Items the cart will not take, from a sofa and a mattress to a treadmill or a pile of remodeling waste, are collected through the city's large item service by appointment, on the ward's annual cleanup day, or by the resident at the Frederick County Regional Landfill, which accepts material that originates in the city.

Get it ready

When & how
Request the pickup through the city's large item collection form or by phone as far ahead as possible, put the items at the curb at the address given on the request, and expect the collection to happen on a weekday the city assigns rather than on the ordinary trash day.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A residence served by the city's collection, where the monthly solid waste charge based on the size and number of carts includes recycling and yard waste collection, and no separate yard waste charge is published.

When & how
Set the cart out the night before or by 6 a.m. on the ward's collection day, with Ward 1 on Monday, Ward 2 on Tuesday, Ward 3 on Wednesday and Ward 4 on Thursday, and take the empty cart back in after collection.
Get it ready
Bag the trash inside the cart and close the lid, face the cart toward the street with the wheels against the curb or in the grass at the driveway edge away from the mailbox, and keep appliances, furniture, lumber, large items, tires, construction debris and yard waste out of the cart along with hazardous material, building waste and auto parts.
Set the cart out the night before collection or by 6 a.m. on the collection day, with trash bagged inside the cart and the lid closed.

A large item collection is only for an address that receives city collection, and the pickup has to be arranged before the item goes out. Give the address and the items on the request, put the pieces at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day the city assigns, keep them out of the sidewalk, street, mailbox and driveway, and leave the old cart alone because it belongs to the address rather than the household.
Register ahead of the ward's cleanup day, because registration closes at 11:59 p.m. the day before. Put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. and no more than 24 hours early, keep them clear of the sidewalk, street, mailbox and driveway, and expect the load to be collected over several days by different trucks, with anything still out after two weeks reported on (540) 773-1340.

Yard waste goes out in open containers or biodegradable paper lawn bags, never in plastic bags and never in the city trash cart or the recycling bin.

Household waste, construction and demolition debris, concrete, asphalt, commercial brush and mulch, yard debris and automobile tires, with household hazardous waste and electronics taken at the same site on their monthly collection windows.
Only waste that originates in Frederick County, Clarke County or the City of Winchester is accepted. Loads are weighed at the scale, businesses may open an account or pay at the window, tire limits and prices change above ten tires in a load, tractor tires have to be quartered and off road or super single truck tires are refused.

Drop off appliances, furniture, mattresses and remodeling waste
Frederick County Landfill Citizens' Center
146 Landfill Rd., Winchester, VA 22602
Large and bulky items such as major and small household appliances, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, lawn equipment with fluids removed, auto batteries, propane tanks, indoor and outdoor furniture, shelving, mattresses, box springs, and remodeling waste such as lumber, pipes, carpeting and yard debris. Used motor oil, antifreeze and cooking oil in sealed jugs are taken here, along with batteries.
Doors have to be removed from refrigerators and freezers before the appliance is left. The county's neighborhood convenience sites are for its own taxpayers, so a Winchester resident uses the regional landfill and this center instead. Hazardous chemicals are accepted only during the third Wednesday window, none of the waste may come from outside the service area, and the center closes at noon or all day on the county's published dates.
Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sunday.
The county page describes household drop off at its convenience centers as free to county taxpayers and permits City of Winchester residents to use the regional landfill instead, where loads are weighed and the published prices cover the commercial, construction and tire streams, so call the landfill on (540) 665-5643, option 1, and confirm what a Winchester household pays for a bulky or appliance load before hauling it.
Ferrous and non ferrous metal, including appliances and junk vehicles, bought as scrap with walk in service and same day payment.
The yard does not buy a load whose weight is mostly glass, plastic or other non metals, prices move with the market, and a refrigerator or freezer still needs its doors and refrigerant handled before the metal is weighed in, so call before loading a mixed load.
Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., closed Sunday.
A scrap buyer pays by material and market price rather than by a published pickup rate, so call (540) 667-8440 and confirm what the load is worth and what the yard will take before hauling it in.
