TRASH AND RECYCLING
Champion collects trash on Tuesday and Friday. Recycling is collected on Friday. Trash and recyclables may be placed curbside no earlier than 6:00 PM the night before scheduled collection and no later than 7:00 AM the day of collection. Remove all bins and containers promptly when empty on the day of collection.

Cans and bins must be stored in backyards or garages at all other times. Trash cans and recycling bins may not be stored on front porches or behind bushes, or in driveways, etc.

Recyclables are to be placed in recycling bins or clear plastic bags to prevent wind from blowing loose items around the neighborhood. Please secure your recyclables, break down cardboard boxes when possible, and place them in a recycling bin. Loose paper bags are not allowed unless properly contained within a bin or container, or are landscaping/lawn clippings recycling bags.

Trash and recyclables will be collected as scheduled on all holidays except New Year's Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. When a designated pickup day falls on one of the listed holidays, trash or recyclables will be collected on the next regularly scheduled pickup day.

Construction debris: You or your contractor/repair person are responsible for the prompt removal of all related construction debris.

SEVERE WEATHER OR OTHER UNFORESEEN EVENT—If a trash pickup is missed because of severe weather (snow, storms, unsafe conditions, etc.) or other unforeseen events, trash service will resume on the next regularly scheduled pickup day. Champion's website, https://www.cswaste.com, provides updates if a service interruption will occur, or you may call them at (703) 239-8540 (during normal business hours).

Trash should be tied in plastic bags or enclosed in standard trash cans or other containers. Trash bags or containers may not exceed 35 pounds per bag or container. Excessive trash, such as more than five bundles of landscaping debris per home, will not be picked up.

If you have larger items that need to be hauled away, you can contact Champion directly, and they will let you know the amount they will charge for picking them up and schedule a pick-up date. You can also contact other haulers to set something up. Do not place items at the curb for pickup earlier than 6:00 PM the night before the scheduled pick-up. Visit Champion's contact information on the Useful Contacts page of this site.

There are two Christmas tree pickups each January. As soon as the scheduled days are known, they will be announced in advance.

SNOW REMOVAL
MHHA uses Blue Sky to plow, sand, and salt our streets. They generally plow upon the accumulation of 2 or more inches of snow and salt or sand our roadways as necessary. Clearing of walkways, the sidewalk directly in front of your house, driveway apron, and steps is a homeowner's responsibility; please ensure those areas are clear as soon as the weather allows. The shoveling/clearing of fire hydrants, mailboxes areas, and community sidewalks is greatly appreciated.

When a storm with more than 6 inches of snow is forecast, garage use is encouraged to open spots for pushed snow. The crew does its best to allow vehicle access, but patience is required. Cars will need to be shoveled out.

Do not use salt or de-icing products containing calcium chloride, as these can damage concrete surfaces.

George C. Marshall Drive, Dominion Way, and Dominion Drive are state-owned roads, and the state is responsible for plowing them. (Note, that private plowing is prohibited.) Residents can call VDOT at 703-383-VDOT to report roads that have not been plowed. The more calls, the better.

TOWING SERVICES
