Expect earlier trash collection times next week due to the heat

Make sure to get you trash carts out for collection early next week.

Arlington County’s solid waste crews are planning to start collections earlier due to a week-long bout of high heat.

More from Arlington’s Dept. of Environmental Services:

Roll Carts to the Curb by 5:30 a.m. Next Week

Due to prolonged heat in the forecast for next week, crews will pick up curbside trash, recycling and organics starting at 6 a.m. to take advantage of cooler morning temperatures. Residents should place carts at the curb no later than 5:30 a.m. on their scheduled collection day. This earlier start time will remain in effect from Monday, June 17, through Friday, June 21.

If you have questions, call 703-228-5000.

High temperatures in the 90s are currently expected each day of next week.
