Quantities are limited and CVWMA staff need at least 48 hours notice to process requests during normal business hours and ask for a minimum of two weeks notice in the spring (4 weeks notice during the months of April/May).

Our most popular item is our award winning * educational program Journey Through the MRF a custom video about recycling in central Virginia that comes with educational products. In just 5 minutes, viewers follow the journey of items collected in local curbside and drop-off recycling bins (containers) through TFC Recycling's Material Recovery Facility (MRF) located in Chester, VA.

In 2009 and 2010, the CVWMA was most fortunate to have the opportunity to work with four local educators as well as several local TV networks to provide updated recycling information and video footage.
