How to Recycle - Cart, Bin or Alternate Containers 

 

Did you know that YOU can use practically any container to hold your recycables? You do not have to use the CVWMA 24 gallon green bin or 96 gallon cart. Of course, if you need one let us know. But don't let that stop you from setting out your recyables immediately in any rigid container such as plastic tote, small trash can, etc. Even your cardboard moving boxes will do!

Anything that is convenient for you to use. It's that easy!

CVWMA is offering larger carts as an option for residents. We are offering them as an added convenience to recycle, recognizing it is not going to be the right thing for everyone. This is a choice and no one is obligated. CVWMA cannot afford, nor can our curbside member jurisdictions afford, to purchase one for everyone in the region at this time.

 

If you already own a larger cart, or would like to purchase one of your own, it must meet certain requirments. These include: must be a rigid container; anything over 40 gallons must have a steel bar on the container for easy tipping. CVWMA will mail free stickers to identify your container as recycling.

The 96 gallon containers, known as "carts" or "super cans", that will be used for this program are approximately 96-gallons and provided to the customer for a user fee of $65. The fee does not purchase the cart for the resident. The cart will remain part of the program and shall remain with the property.

 

The cart will be delivered and repaired by the contractor (TFC Recycling) if damaged by the driver, also at no additional fee. To report any damage or issues with your 96 gallon recycling cart, please call the Recycling Hotline at 340-0900. Please note, if the cart is stolen, it will not be replaced by CVWMA or TFC Recycling. You will need to notify your local police department.

 

1. Is the $65 fee a user fee, yearly rental or one time ownership?
  It is a one time only user fee. The homeowner who purchases the larger cart can use it for as long as he/she lives at the address at the time of purchase. If the homeowner moves, the larger cart is to stay at the existing address.
2. Will the carts be collected in alleys?
  No, this is a curbside program.
3. Is there an assistance program for eligible homeowner's to get a larger cart?
  No. This is a choice and no one is obligated.
4. What happens if we purchase a cart and it is stolen?
  Please note, if the cart is stolen, it will not be replaced by CVWMA or TFC Recycling and you will need to notify your police.
