Central Virginia Waste Management Authority
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
35 Years of Helping Communities Do Their Part
In 1990, thirteen localities in Central Virginia banded together to tackle new state recycling requirements. The idea was that – through an economy of scale approach – they could achieve greater cost savings for residents.
That’s how the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority came to be.
