Since 2003, the Curbside and Drop-Off Recycling Programs have diverted more than 35,000 tons of material from local landfills each year!  Way to go, Central Virginia! 

The Curbside Recycling Program (top chart with green bars) continues to offer the most convenient method of recycling for over 230,000 eligible households in Central Virginia.  The Drop-Off Recycling Program (bottom chart with blue bars) provides 47 sites available to citizens in 11 CVWMA-member  jurisdictions.  Both programs collect newspaper, mixed paper, aluminum, steel, glass and plastic. 

Note: CVWMA program years begin on July 1 and end on June 31. The charts below reflect program information current through December 31, 2005 (halfway point for FY 06).
