Non subscribers to the solid waste program may schedule up to two collections within a 30 day period at a rate of $75 per collection.

• Contractors are required to call one week in advance to the Waste Management Office at 757-890-3780 so staff can come out and see the yard debris you want to dispose of while they it is still on your ground (757-890-3780).  If approved, the disposal fees will be waived.  In addition, you must deliver the material in person (i.e. no employees, neighbors, or family members not living in your household.) If you do not meet the above criteria, a disposal fee will be required.
