Virginia Beach provides weekly curbside trash and recycling collection through a contract with Waste Management. Collection occurs on designated weekdays. Yard waste is collected separately.
Residential trash is collected weekly on designated days. Recycling is collected every other week in blue carts. Yard waste is collected weekly in a separate program. Bins must be at the curb by 6 AM on collection day. Extra bags beside the cart are accepted. Bulky items require scheduling a special pickup. The city observes major holidays with adjusted schedules. Waste Management provides a 95-gallon automated cart for trash and a recycling cart.
Improper set-out or contaminated recycling may result in refused collection. Illegal dumping carries fines up to $2,500 under Virginia law.
