Reston South Park & Ride Purple Can Relocation


The Purple Can Club glass recycling containers at the Reston South Park and Ride at the corner of Reston Parkway and Lawyers Road were recently relocated. Please see the attached map for details. The new location is in a less trafficked area and allows for easier truck container pick up and drop off. The Fairfax County Solid Waste Program encourages residents to recycle their glass bottles and jars at the over 40 Purple Can Club locations in Northern Virginia. Glass from the Purple Can Club is brought to a processing facility, where it is sorted by color, crushed, and turned into new glass containers.
