Easy to find, relatively easy to follow signs to the various stations. Personnel very helpful.

The level of service that was provided to me was exceptional to say the least. I really appreciate Brandon taking the time to help out. Thank you sir! read more

Had to drop off some paint cans. A bit confusing on where to go, but luckily there was an employee who directed me to the correct spot. If you need to drop off paint, once the lanes starts to divide, drive to the very right side of the road. Do not enter the lanes with signs "Residents". Drive all the way down and you'll see a shed with a green roof. Since I came on a Saturday afternoon, there was a long of cars to drop off. It's nice that you don't need to park anywhere and walk to drop it off. read more

I-66 Transfer Station - Recycling Center Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I go here at least once a week to drop off those recyclables that can not be disposed with our curb side service. It is always clean and people are very helpful! It's nice to be able to go to one place tin drop off recyclable plastics, glass, paper items, and also electronics all for free to Fairfax County residents! read more

The traffic patterns are not easy to figure out. They charge too much, even for county residents. I had 5 bags of trash, and they wanted to charge me $17.00, so I left. Some folks are friendly, but most aren't. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff when I asked questions on my first-ever visit. Had a couple of bulk trailer loads of mixed items to dispose of, which ultimately ran me about $40 total. I saved a lot of money doing this for myself versus overpaying for a junk service to do it for me. read more

I've been here multiple times over the past 2 years. Just FYI, its available to Fairfax County residents, and a stone's throw behind the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. Basically said its the dump with a fancy name. They have drop off for regular trash, yard waste, battery recycling, hazardous waste, appliances. There are two options if you're non-commercial which would likely be you the reader of this review. 1. you can get your vehicle weighed upon entry and exit, or pay by the load. 2. Basically the cashier looks at your vehicle and you tell them what you have then they quote you a price based on the price list on their kiosk window. Pretty simple. If you do 2. no need to come back and get weighed. They take cash or credit cards too. Easy quick, and generally not too busy on the weekends if you get there early. read more

I-66 Transfer Station - Recycling Center Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I am regular to the I-66 transfer station and lived in Fairfax County my whole life. Over the last 4 years they have greatly increased more than doubled their fees, and reduced their hours. Employees are not honest and try to fleece resident for extra fees. They tell you the by bag fee will be the same as by weight, and by weight is always $6-15 less than by bag fee. These are dishonest practices, and no one is pleasant to talk to their. read more

Came here to recycle some old computer parts. This place is really confusing if you've never been. There's a map on the Fairfax County website to help you out but it's still tough to tell where to go. When I finally found the electronics recycling, I was told that the laptop batteries I brought had to go to household hazardous waste which meant I had to do another loop around to find it. In the end I was able to recycle most of my equipment and it was entirely free. It would have been nice if it were easier to navigate; I think more people would use this service. read more

So I know it's a little bit weird for me to be reviewing, well, the dump, but hey, nobody else has yet, and who knows who might find my experiences interesting and/or helpful, right? Right. So after the epic mega-party Yelp Gets Lucky went down on Friday, I found myself with an entire truck-full of juicy, post-party trash to get rid of. So bright and early the next morning, I hauled my sorry butt outta bed and made my way with said truck o' trash to the I-66 Transfer Station. You see how much I love my Yelpers? Now you know that my dedication truly knows no bounds. ;) They make it pretty easy for you, which is a good thing for a trash-hauling neophite like myself. You drive up, they weigh the entire truck on the way in, and then you back the truck up to these guard rails that overlook multiple ginormous dumpsters on the ground below. Then, it's just a matter of dumping all the trash down into them! Because you park the truck above the actual dumpster, it's actually super easy to get everything inside. Gravity most definitely works to your advantage here. Oh, and evidently they don't really care about you getting every last cup and plastic fork into the actual dumpsters... or at least, they'd rather you not climb onto the other side of the guard rails to pick them all up like I was trying to. (I got in a widdle bit of twouble... oops! I was just trying to be thorough, Mr. Trash Man!) They weigh your truck again on the way out, and you pay the difference in weight. For 600 pounds of juicy party trash, we ended up paying exactly $18. Not too shabby. I deduct a star because the actual hours of open operation are relatively narrow for the normal working person, and they don't offer any kind of after-hours dumping options even for a fee... which would have been really helpful given that parking a truck full of garbage on the street overnight wasn't really ideal, hahaha. But all's well that ends well, and there wasn't anything that a quick hose-down and a bit of Febreze wasn't able to fix! read more

I-66 Transfer Station - Recycling Center Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Mostly here to explain how this place works for people interested in using their services! I went to get rid of an old armchair and a couple kitchen chairs in bad condition. I followed Google Maps and it took me directly to the entrance. I saw that I was supposed to bear right. It was a little difficult to figure out where to go, so I coasted at 3mph for a couple seconds. Eventually I spotted what looked like a kiosk area ahead, to the left of the large truck weigh station, but to the right of a side road that said "authorized vehicles only", and drove up. The woman inside asked what I had in my car to get rid of. She gave me a price, and I paid with credit card. They take MasterCard and Visa, but not AmEx or Discovery. It was a little pricey, but worth it if you need to get rid of stuff, in my opinion. I asked where to go and she directed me ahead to what kind of looked like a tiny white house. I drove up and asked another worker what to do, and he directed me to a numbered parking spot that I backed into. Once I did, I unloaded my stuff and tossed it over a big metal bar into a giant metal trash bin. After I was done, I just drove off to the right to loop back around to the entrance/exit and it was pretty easy to find my way out. All in all an easy and good experience. read more

This station has the most friendly and helpful people. It's also very well organized and neat and tidy....even though it's a "dump!"

the reviews below trashing a trash site is hilarious to me. first of all, it's not that confusing to get to. there ARE signs pointing the way, just pay attention. or if your eyes are glued to your phone, just follow the maps. it's pretty straight forward, but even if you botch it, it's not like it's a labrynth to find your way out of. my trash service collect most my regular trash, so i reserve the trip to this place for stuff like super bulky or hazardous materials like paint- the cost of them disposing of it for me is more than reasonable. it's really not that confusing to figure out which area to dump your stuff at- it's a big loop anyway so if you miss it, just circle back around and it'll either be in front of your face or just ask. i've never had a problem with any attendant there, they've always been more than happy to help. if it's super swamped or if an attendant seems less than enthused, i 10000000% understand why that might be the case. i'm glad this place exists, it's been incredibly useful and personally i think it's a helluva lot more organized than other places. i don't know what crazy expectations people have but it bothers me that people will find any any reason to complain about the facilities that are helping them dispose of things and help them tidy up their lives that would otherwise end up going who knows where. read more

This place can be frustratingly confusing, even with the signs they have. I needed to dispose of a broken mini fridge and while I saw a line for household waste and hazardous waste I didn't know where the fridge fit in, as it's classified as a white good. It has refrigerant in it -- does that make it hazardous? The answer is apparently no. I decided to just pull over in a parking area I wasn't supposed to be in and found a document on the Fairfax County website called "I-66 Transfer Station Resident Guide." GO DOWNLOAD THAT. It's still a little confusing (there's just arrows pointing a million directions and boxes depicting where things go) but it helps. Anyway, other than that it was an easy and inexpensive process. Wait in line for your turn on the vehicle scale (I waited for about 20-ish minutes at 1:30 pm on a Thursday), pull forward till you get to the window, talk to the super nice staff, pay the fee, they'll tell you where to go, drop off your junk and you're good to go. It only cost me $3 to dump the mini fridge. So that's awesome. read more

They do a great job and are open EVERY DAY, including holidays! For your dumping pleasure, you can drop off electronics, old paint, brush and yard waste, old toilets, you name it. Only thing I'd say is that they could use a few more signs to guide newbies on where to go. They charge a small fee to drop hazardous waste like paint, but it's only a few dollars. They do take credit cards read more

I-66 Transfer Station - No clue as to what this is. - Recycling Center Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Never thought I'd review a dump, but here we go. It was a bit confusing for a first timer but eventually we found where to go and were in and out in minutes. read more

More or less efficient. Staff is helpful. Don't dump on a Sunday! Omg this place is mobbed. read more

Long lines, not enough staff, and supervisors standing around kicking pebbles with their feet or sitting in pick-up trucks watching nothing happening. Nobody directing traffic at a whole lot of shucking and jiving going on in little groups. Typical government operation. read more

This is the worst and frustrating place to go . they have a bad customer services and they act like they don't care. I don't understand how people can work everyday like that, very disappointed read more

this place need BIG signage to the various section's - hazard waste, recycle. Your shouldnt have to sit in the line from West Ox. Recycle containers need to be empty. it is sad to see people trying to cram cardboard, plastic, glass paper only to have it fall out on ground and blow around. read more

Could benefit from some more signage--super confusing & very crowded on a Saturday morning. But once you find where you're going, the staff are helpful. read more

I want to give this place 5 stars for being so cheap to dump things but this place is so confusing and there are no people around other than the tellers when you first drive in to direct you. I've been to dumps before and sometimes they can be a bit pricey so I was prepared for whatever quote they were gonna throw my way for dumping a bed, BBQ, desk, dresser, and a few other smaller items... it ended up only being $19! Talk about a deal. Anyways once I got in they had all these different stations for different wastes you were getting rid of. However, signs were not put up everywhere explaining where to dump things and there was no one to direct or help. For this reason I may have dumped a few items in the wrong places. Anyways, the location is very accessible and this place has good prices so can't complain too much! read more

What could be thrilling about a trip to the transfer station? I had some hazmat to get rid of and it was pretty difficult navigating this place. I was able to find my way eventually. The layout was designed and implemented by a drunk... but hey, it is what it is. read more

Probably the worst dump in all of America. The people who work here have a bad attitude, are not understanding and not willing to listen. Just because I borrowed somebody's work van to bring my household trash to the dump does not mean I own a business or I am trying to start one. Every single time I go there I have a problem so I will just stop going there. No wonder people dump illegally, they have terrible communication skills and we wonder why we see piles of trash all around Fairfax County read more

It is hard to give a garbage dump 5 stars, but for what they do I think they have it figured out. Weekday hours are not that great but they are open on Saturday and Sunday too. They are super busy on the weekends and usually have a worker in a reflective vest at the entrance directing people where to go. I have used this place for recycling drop off-to include hazardous materials like car batteries, motor oil, etc. Unless you have large items like washing machines, clothes dryers, etc., the recycling is free. I have gotten rid of countless truckloads of yard waste. For me, the price has varied for yard waste. Sometimes they will make me weigh-in, sometimes the man or woman in the booth will look in the back and say, hmmmmm, that will be $6, or some other arbitrary dollar amount. Either way, it is a great price to get rid of all the yard waste. Another great thing offered at the I-66 transfer station is FREE mulch!!! They allow the yard waste to age a bit before grinding it up and then throw it in a huge pile where you can shovel it in yourself. They also place it on a huge self-controlled conveyor belt that allows you to pull your truck or trailer right underneath of it, push start, fill up, press stop, drive off. The mulch is a natural light brown color. The only downside is an occasional piece of plastic or other kind of trash mixed in but you cannot beat the price. The place is full of activity and where you are supposed to go can get confusing sometimes. Every worker I have ever asked for assistance or instructions has been very friendly and helpful. I sometimes sit back for a minute and watch everything going on and I amazed at the activity. Huge front end loaders, garbage trucks, residential trash dumping, commercial junk haulers, landscaping companies, mulch and yard waste people, all running around like ants after their nest was stirred up. read more

I've been clearing vines and dead trees out of my yard for the past 14 months. The I-66 Transfer Station is fantastic. All the workers I've encountered have been very polite and helpful. They are more than willing to explain where you need to dispose of the items you brought or hauled if this is your first time or if you just ask. I bring all of our household waste there too since it's cheaper for me to make the trash runs rather than signing up for weekly trash pick-up. Recycling is made easy here too, whether it's glass, cardboard, plastic, or mixed paper, or "white" products (appliances) or scrap metal which is free to drop off. Also, dispose of your hazardous liquids (auto and paint), lithium (hearing aid) and car batteries and florescent light bulbs (all of these are free drop off too). I can't say enough about how much I appreciate having this transfer station available to our community and especially for my family and me. Thank you. read more
