Our 35th Anniversary

Central Virginia Waste Management Authority

35 Years of Regional Collaboration


In 1990, thirteen localities in Central Virginia joined 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 was established.
