Special collapsible
recycling containers (pictured at right) will be loaned to
interested groups to collect cans and bottles from single-day
events. Use of the containers and collection and
recycling of the collected materials are provided at no
charge, but a $100 refundable deposit check is
required to defray
the costs of replacing containers that are damaged or not
returned.
A limited
number of containers are available for loan and reservations will
be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
Requests MUST be received at least fourteen days prior to
the event, and four weeks advance
request is recommended.
The request form and deposit must
accompany requests. Click here for the Request Form.

already booked:

event? You can use your own containers and take
the recyclables to a drop-off

with the regular trash
- Returning the units in the same condition as when they were

Delivery and Pickup
Information
For smaller events and events located outside
our curbside jurisdications, an event representative is responsible
for picking up the containers at CVWMA, taking the recyclables to a
drop-off
location or convenience center, and returning the containers to
CVWMA after the event.
For larger
events located within CVWMA's curbside recycling service area,
transportation of recycling containers to and from the
event can be provided by
TFC. Delivery is on the Friday before weekend events and pick-up is on the Monday after the event. Containers and recyclables must be secured over the weekend
and kept away from the regular trash until TFC picks them up.
