Trash is picked up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Bulk-pickup is on Tuesday. Please wait until later Monday evening or early Tuesday morning to put out furniture/bulk items (NO APPLIANCES, RENOVATION/CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS), and do not block access to the dumpsters or recycling bins. Regular pickup cannot occur if the dumpsters or recycling bins are inaccessible.
Dumpsters and recycling bins are for residential use only. Contractors must appropriately remove their own trash and debris when renovating or repairing units. Dumpsters, recycling bins, and bulk pickup MAY NOT be used for renovation/construction-type refuse or appliances.
Arbors has single-stream recycling. That means that you don't have to separate accepted recycling items. Just put them all in the bins, preferably loose, or in paper bags only. Please do not put recycling items in plastic bags. Please do not throw regular trash in the recycling bins! Arlington County can fine us if the wrong items are placed in the recycling bins.

Arlington also has two designated recycling drop-off locations — at Quincy Park (N. Quincy Street and Washington Blvd) or the Arlington Trades Center (2700 S. Taylor Street).
Corrugated cardboard, which is the kind of cardboard that has layers to it--like moving boxes, and boxes that are sturdy, must be BROKEN DOWN FLAT. Usually, there's enough room to slide them in between the bins, once they are broken down. Better yet, cut them up to put in recycling bins, so they don't blow around the parking lots.
If you want to give items away, a Goodwill is conveniently located across the street on Glebe Rd. There are also organizations that pick up donated items. Take a tax deduction, instead, and please avoid leaving usable items by the dumpsters. http://www.charitychoices.com/whoaccepts.a
