Drop-Off Recycling
| CVWMA offers convenient drop-off recycling to residents of central Virginia. Collection containers are located at forty-seven sites in eleven participating counties and cities.
The green drop-off containers feature large openings for the collection of two recyclable "streams" - mixed paper and mixed containers. |
Newest Site: Behind the Science Museum of Virginia, in the special events parking lot at the corner of Leigh Street and DMV Drive.

Newspaper is collected in separate newspaper-only bins. Look for the container below at the site you use:
 Through a contract with SP Recycling Corporation, CVWMA provides these separate newspaper containers at 25 recycling centers throughout the region. Newspaper collection bins are also provided to various apartment and townhouse developments. If separate bins are not available, include newspaper in the mixed paper bins.
Newspaper collected in these containers is used to create 100% recycled newsprint for the central Virginia region!
