These special wastes and household hazardous wastes are not accepted at the compactor sites located throughout the County, but are only accepted at the Landfill.

You must call the Landfill office at 540-984-8573 to dispose of asbestos products.

Yes, as long as these procedures are followed: Needles are placed in a non-puncture container, that is taped shut and SHARPS is written on the outside of the container. Please bring the container to the landfill and take it to the window located at the scales. For more information, please review the Household Sharps Flyer DEQ 2016 (PDF)

No, but the Sheriff's Office does. A permanently mounted metal box is located in the lobby of the Sheriff's Office. If you have used or expired medication (no liquids, sharps, or inhalers) deposit them at any time. No information is taken at the time of the drop-off. This disposal method is preferable to burying the medicine in the landfill, and much better than flushing it down the toilet (fish don't react well to people's medicines).
