The James City County curbside recycling program currently serves approximately 21,000 homes. If you live in the service area, a recycling bin and brochure will be delivered to your home in about one week upon request.  Contact the Virginia Peninsula Public Service Authority (VPPSA) at 757- 259-9850 or curbsiderecycling@vppsa.org to determine if curbside recycling is available in your area.  Curbside collection is provided weekly. 

 

Acceptable Items for Recycling

The curbside recycling program is a single stream process, meaning that all materials can be mixed in the same bin.  Occasional overflow can be placed in like size containers or paper grocery bags. 

 

Paper	Metal	Glass	Plastic
Newspaper & inserts Magazines Telephone Books Books Junk Mail Cereal Boxes PAPER grocery bags ***Corrugated Cardboard	Metal Cans Aluminum cans Aluminum foil products (be sure to rinse and remove all residue)	Glass jars & bottles Clear, brown or green glass is accepted.  Rinse and remove lids.  Metal lids can be recycled.	Plastic Bottles and Jugs     "Check for a Neck" Must have a narrow neck or pouring spout.  Must only have a #1 or a #2 in the recycling symbol on the bottom.  Rinse and remove all residue.  Throw away lids.

 

***Corrugated Cardboard must be flattened and no larger than 3 feet x 4 feet in size. If you have more than 12 boxes, please call ahead.

We Cannot Accept:

• Plastic bags or any item placed in a plastic bag
• Wide mouth tubs such as yogurt cups and butter tubs
• Plastic flower pots
• Styrofoam
• Plastic cups or plates or utensils
• Oil and pesticide containers

Unacceptable items will actually increase the cost of processing and may cause a load of otherwise recyclable materials to be rejected and go to the landfill!

 

Collection day is determined by voting district.  The following is the current collection schedule: 

• Stonehouse – Monday
• Powhatan – Tuesday
• Berkeley – Wednesday
• Jamestown – Thursday
• Roberts – Friday
