Trash & Recycling
Virginia Beach has many ways to responsibly dispose of your household waste: curbside pick-up services, recycling drop-off locations, landfilling, resource recovery, and household hazardous waste disposal.

Calling Waste Management
Due to high call volumes, residents can expect delays when calling the Waste Management office. The following services can be requested by visiting VB311:
- Report a Missed Collection
- Yard Debris Trailer Rental
- Bulky Item Collection
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.
