Virginia requires solid waste planning units to achieve a minimum 25 percent municipal solid waste recycling rate annually, with reduced 15 percent rate available to qualifying rural and low-population planning units.
Virginia Code Section 10.1-1411 mandates each solid waste planning unit achieve and maintain a minimum 25 percent recycling rate of principal recyclable materials generated within the unit. Planning units with population below 100,000 or unemployment exceeding the state average may qualify for a reduced 15 percent rate. The Department of Environmental Quality administers reporting through 9VAC20-130-10. Localities must report recycling data annually, and persistent non-compliance can result in enforcement actions or required corrective plans.
Failure to meet rates triggers DEQ corrective action plans, public reporting of deficiencies, and potential loss of solid waste planning grants. Civil penalties may apply for failure to file required annual reports.
