Outstanding! Way to treecycle Virginia Beach!

If you know of any other treecycling opportunities, please share in the comments.

Tree-Cycling Update: we are at max capacity and can no longer accept trees! 🌲🌲🌲 Thank you to all who donated your trees to help Marine Stewards America restore local sand dunes. If you are a Virginia Beach resident and still have a live-cut tree to dispose of, Christmas trees are collected as regular yard waste on your normal collection day. Trees must be curbside and free of their stand, tinsel, lights and ornaments.

UPDATE! West Neck Recycling Center has reopened!

Absolutely incredible! In just under 2 1/2 days, our hardcore recycling residents have managed to completely shut-down our West Neck Recycling Center! This is a FIRST!
Our compactors can accept no more.
We typically have both compactors emptied every Thursday, so we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we work to get them serviced on an "off" day.
West Neck will be closed tomorrow morning. Our favorite "retired" City employee, Kendall, will be there to redirect anyone who has not seen this message before heading over.
Those with boxes, can take their recyclables to the City's Landfill and Resource Recovery Center. You can always hang onto them if you want to see Steve and Kendall. ☺️

Holiday Recycling Tips
Day 1: Wrapping Paper

Most wrapping paper can be recycled. You can even leave the tiny pieces of tape on the paper. Remember to remove (and reuse) those ribbons and bows.
Paper that is laminated or super shiny cannot be recycled and should be tossed in the trash.

Holiday Recycling Tips
Day 2: Packages

When ordering items online, check to see if the company can consolidate your purchases for shipping. This will help to curb the enormous amount of cardboard generated during the holiday season.

Before recycling those boxes, ask your neighbors, or even non-profit organization if they have a need for them. And before placing any cardboard in your recycling container- make sure that it is flat.
