Contamination items include plastic bags, food waste, styrofoam, and electronics. Virginia's recycling rate goal encourages participation. Commercial properties must arrange private recycling. The city operates recycling drop-off at convenience centers for additional materials.
Contaminated bins may be left uncollected. No residential fines for non-participation as recycling is voluntary.
