Visit VB ConnectWaste Management Adds New Service Request Options to VB311
Using VB311, residents now have four service request options:
- Bulky Item Collection Request
- Report a Missed Pick-up
Report a Missed Pick-up
Virginia Beach residents who receive curbside services may report a missed pick-up of their scheduled bulk/large item, trash can, recycling can, or yard waste.
Visit VB311 or use the VB Works app to report a missed pick-up.
For residents who do not have access to a computer, you may notify and/or request this service by calling (757) 385-4650, or by emailing wastemgt@vbgov.com, or in person.
Bulky Item Collection Request
Virginia Beach residents who receive curbside services may schedule a bulky/large item pickup online using VB311 or the VB Works app.
Requests should be submitted two weeks (or more) prior to your regularly scheduled weekly trash pick-up day. Residents are encouraged to request this service when multiple items have been gathered rather than requesting multiple pickups of single items.
