From official county, city and HOA pages, checked October 2026. Rules change, so check the link before you book anything.
Your association's hauler, not the county's
Reston homeowners, clusters and condos each contract their own trash haulers. In June 2026 the county withdrew its plan for a single sanitation district, so nothing changes.

From people Luis moved
“Excellence par none.”
Luis and crew helped moved my two-bedroom apartment to a new place--what an outstanding service! Extremely careful with all items, wrapped everything thoroughly, and transported it all very quickly. At each location they added precautions for the floors and kept both places extremely clean. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in NoVa. Excellence par none.
We used him to move on 5/8. He did everything quickly , efficiently and with CARE. He wrapped every single one of our items so that they would not get damaged. He stopped by and gave us a free and very fair quote as well. He took his time & even placed all the labeled boxes in the correct rooms when moving into the new place to help ease some of the stress of unpacking! We were so happy with his services and would absolutely recommend him!
