Keep Falls Church Beautiful

Littering is against the law! Under the city's civil penalties program, violators must pay a fine if the violation is not corrected by an established deadline.

Report Litter Problems

To report a littering problem, email the department or call 703-248-5160 (TTY 711).

Litter-Reduction Volunteer Programs
