The community trash pickup for Mount Air is intended for regular household trash and yard waste like grass clippings, leaves, brush and branches.  Other materials are not covered by our contract with Nightingale Trucking and may not be picked up during the routine collections.   

When disposing of tree waste, the branches must be cut in lengths of no more than three (3) feet and tied into bundles which can be easily picked up by the sanitation crew. 

To dispose of items such as construction materials and debris, furniture, appliances, paints, etc, you may either contact Nightingale Trucking (703) 360-6634 to arrange and pay for a special pickup or you may take the materials to the I-95 Citizen's Recycling and Disposal Facility for disposal.  The disposal fees are extremely low.  A pickup truck load is usually charged at around $9.  Appliances (washing machine, refrigerator, dishwasher, etc) are $2 each.  A full schedule of fees can be found on here on the Fairfax County website.

West Springfield Police District – Police are investigating reports of 10 cars being stolen while their owners left them running in their driveways in the Lorton area off  Silverbook Road.  The vehicles range in value from a 2004 Toyota Corolla, worth about $8,000 to a 2012 Acura TL, valued at around $50,000.

Police have distributed flyers and posted electronic sign boards in the area to help make the public aware of the thefts and deter thieves.

The first in the apparent series took place January 18 and the most recent was Friday, March 9. All of the crimes occurred as owners were “warming up” their vehicles between the hours of 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. on weekdays (Monday through Friday).

   On January 24, 2012 the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved changes to sections of the Fairfax County Code which regulate towing.  These changes to the code took effect immediately.  You may read the complete text of the code here (Towing Code w reg - 120124 - FINAL - clean.pdf [Adobe Acrobat PDF - 112.58 KB])

   The most notable changes which you should be aware of are the maximum rates which towing companies may charge have been increased.  Dominion Towing, the company who enforces the community parking regulations, has notified Mount Air that they have raised their towing rates to match the maximum allowed rates.  Vehicles towed from the community for failure to displaying a valid Mount Air Parking Permit will be charged these rates.

   In the Village of Mount Air, all vehicles must display a current Mount Air parking permit (hang tag) on the windshield, at all times.  Between the hours of 7pm and 6am, any vehicle without a proper permit may be towed without notice.  The minimum charge to release a vehicle is now $150 - $175.
