Don't Waste Valentine's Day

CVWMA suggests that you recycle right every day even on Valentine's Day. Check out ways to share your love with the planet this Valentines Day from Recycling Partnership. In addition, follow our Recycled Valentine's Day board on Pinterest as well as all of our other boards. Rethink waste. Reduce your impact.

It's All You. Your Recycling Matters

Thank you for recycling accepted items only.

Leave items that are not accepted out of your recycling containers.
If you use a local drop-off recycling location to recycle, place accepted items only in those containers too.
Putting items CVWMA does not accept in recycling containers can damage equipment, harm workers, and adds additional sorting and disposal costs.

If you are new to the area and want to start recycling, please call CVWMA at (804) 340-0900.

CVWMA Collections on Regular Collection on Presidents Day Holiday

CVWMA residential recycling and residential trash collection programs will be on regular collection schedule for President's Day (Mon, Feb. 17). Place container out for pickup on your normal collection day.
Visit our website or call CVWMA at (804) 340-0900 (recycling) or (804) 425-0500 (trash) for more information.

Help Prevent Litter and Pollution in Local Storm Drains

Storm drains are not trash cans. Did you know what goes into a storm drain ends up in our streams, rivers, and eventually the Chesapeake Bay? You can do your part to help prevent litter and reduce pollution.

Do not pour or throw unwanted items down local storm drains.
Recycle bottles, cans, and other accepted recyclables. Place trash in a trash or garbage can/cart.
Use our Recycling Wizard to find out how to properly dispose of chemicals, paints, oils, and other fluids where you live.
Pick up after your pet. Dispose of pet waste in your trash can.
Remember, only rain down the drain.

We can all help keep our waterways clean an litter free.
