Curbside Recycling More Information WHERE is it Available WHEN is Collection WHAT is Collected HOW to Prepare It Frequently Asked Questions Search Our Database Email Reminders NO NEED TO SORT!  You can place all accepted recyclables in the same bin.  On Collection Day Place your bin at the front curb, rain or shine, before 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. If your trash is collected on the same day, please separate your trash container and recycling container by at least 5 feet so that neither collection crew mistakes one for the other. Flatten, fold or cut cardboard boxes to size 2' x 3' or smaller and place them beside your bin. Be careful not to cause litter! Please place light items like plastic bottles and loose paper in the bottom of the bin under heavier items like magazines and glass bottles so that nothing blows out of your bin.  Please do not cover your bin when it rains.        Extra Containers Is your bin overflowing? You can use paper grocery bags or any rigid container, 40 gallons or less in size.  We recommend sturdy plastic totes and small trash cans like those pictured to the right.  They can be anything convenient to you, but NO LARGER THAN 40 gallons, please.  They don't even have to be green!   Please remove any lids to these containers before placing them at the curb. Make sure everyone knows it's a recycling container!  Your family, friends and CVWMA collection drivers will appreciate knowing you use this container for recycling.  Clearly mark your extra containers with these free stickers from CVWMA.  Complete the online form  or call 340-0900 to request your free stickers. Please do not place extra recyclables in plastic bags. Return plastic bags to most grocery stores (or better yet, ask for paper!)  Plastic bags are not recyclable in our program and cause equipment failure at the processing facility.   Wheel Kits We Have Wheels!  Wheels and handles that attach to CVWMA recycling bins are available.  The 4-wheel kits include a yellow rope and handle, two axles, screws and washers.  Assembly is required and you will need to drill or punch holes into the bottom of the bin.  Each kit costs $7.50 when purchased in person from our office or $11.50 if mailed.  You may pay by cash or check at our office, but please only send checks by mail.  Credit cards are not accepted.  Our address is:   CVWMA 2100 W. Laburnum Ave., Suite 105  Richmond, VA 23227   Did you know?  CVWMA recycling bins contain a minimum of 25% recycled plastic!  By purchasing bins made from recycled plastic, we are supporting collection programs across the United States.
