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 259-9850 or curbsiderecycling@vppsa.org to determine if curbside recycling is available in your area. Curbside collection is provided weekly.
