Tomorrow is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup.

Update: Looks like trash/recycling pickup may be tomorrow, Thursday morning, not this morning. I suspect it’s getting pushed due to the Indigenous Peoples’ Day holiday this past Monday. In my defense, the official calendar has it wrong too.

Please go over what can be recycled.

NOTE: CVWMA (Central Virginia Waste Management Authority) has announced that all curbside recycling must now be INSIDE the CVWMA containers with lid closed. Items beside the container or on top of it will not be collected. In fact, incorrect setouts may not be collected at all. This is new as of July 1 for all our curbside recyclers, with the exception of townhomes/condos still using small bins. (And yes, this also applies to flattened cardboard boxes.)

Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.

If it seems like pickup did not happen, use this online form:
