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. 

 

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.
