America Recycles Day is a day to recognize recycling’s impact on the environment, our communities and the economy.
🍕 For America Recycles Day 2026, CVWMA will promote pizza box recycling at three pizzerias in Central Virginia.
Empty pizza boxes are perfectly fine for recycling! (Pizza is not.) CVWMA began accepting empty pizza boxes in curbside and drop-off recycling in July 2026. Pizza boxes can be made into new boxes and feed manufacturing throughout Virginia.
We’ll have recycling information and giveaways at the locations below. Join us for a slice!
