County rules

Most bulky household items such as sofas, mattresses, box springs and futons no longer need a pickup request; set them out at the curb for regular trash collection. Electronics and bulk metal need a special curbside collection (call 703-228-5000). Items over 500 pounds must go through a private hauler. Source
County drop-off sites are for Arlington residents only; proof of residency is required at the Earth Products Yard. Source
