How do I know what day is my collection day?

To find out the collection day at your home, check the back of the collection schedule that was mailed to you by CVWMA (click here to find it) You may also call the Recycling Hotline at 340-0900 to speak with our team of customer service representatives. Or email customerservice@cvwma.com

 

Does my collection day change if there is a holiday?

On certain holidays observed by local, state, and federal offices the CVWMA curbside recycling and trash collection programs may be delayed one day for the remainder of the week.

 

How do I sign up for the free curbside email reminder?

Sign up to receive an Email Reminder the day before your curbside recycling collection.  To subscribe, click here to find your address in our database of eligible homes.

 

What do I do if my recycling isn't collected on the scheduled day?

Nearly 252,000 homes are provided with curbside recycling collection. Your bin/containers/cart must be at the curb by 7 am on your normal collection day. Collection begins at 7:00 am and may continue until 7:00 pm. Please be patient if the drivers drive past your home. Collection often occurs at different times on each side of the street.

 

If you are missed, leave your bin/containers/cart at the curb. Report the missed collection to the Recycling Hotline at 340-0900 within 2 business days and we can send someone back. Please do not email in a missed collection. If you are calling after business hours, leave a message and your request will be processed the next business day.
