Goochland County
Curbside Recycling Changes Are Coming in 2023
Each Goochland County household eligible for CVWMA’s curbside recycling program will automatically receive a new 96-gallon recycling cart. One cart per household will be delivered in the spring.
New collection requirements
- Bins are being phased out and will no longer be collected as of July 1, 2023.
- All recyclables must be placed inside the CVWMA cart. Items placed outside the cart will not be collected.
- Personal containers will no longer be collected.
Already have a CVWMA cart? Tell us if you don’t want the second one. Remember: It may come in handy if you recycle a lot, especially cardboard boxes.
Fill out the form at the button below if you do not wish to have a second cart. Let us know by April 1, 2023.
Collection is on Red Friday in Goochland. Place carts at curb by 7 a.m.
