Virginia trash & bulky-item guides

Browse 7 reviewed city guides, then use the local page for the actual collection schedule, limits and service eligibility.

What changes across Virginia

Virginia large-item collection is primarily local. City and county programs determine appointments, set-out limits and facility access. Virginia DEQ notes that many household-hazardous-waste items can be reused, recycled or collected at county landfills, transfer stations and other local programs.

Important: A state resource does not create one statewide couch, mattress or appliance pickup rule. The city, county, HOA or contracted hauler serving the address usually controls curbside bulky collection.
