At yesterday’s Board of Supervisors meeting the Board adopted a motion directing the County Attorney to investigate the actions of American Disposal Services under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.  American has failed to meet its contractual obligations to individuals and home owners associations around the county, resulting in hundreds of complaints for missed trash pick ups. The motion directs the county attorney to seek business records or other information to see whether American violated the law by contracting to provide services, often after under-bidding competitors, and then being unable to deliver what it promised. Under the unanimously passed motion, the county will request production of documents by June 14 and the county attorney will brief the Board at its June 25th meeting.

The county continues to monitor missed trash pick-ups by ADS and other carriers. If you continue to have missed trash pick-ups, please report them to trashmail@fairfaxcounty.gov or call 703-324-5230.
