Richmond Virginia Police Department issued the following announcement on March 2
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is committed to providing a clean, safe and healthy environment for Richmond residents. In addition to bi-weekly bulk and brush collections that coincide with the recycling collection schedule, the Neighborhood Clean-Up Program is another service provided to help residents dispose of bulk items. Residents in each of the designated neighborhood zones across the city will have two additional opportunities during the year to place bulk and brush items out for collection. The program runs on selected Saturdays starting on March 12 and ending November 19. DPW crews will collect items curbside and in alleys (wherever trash is normally placed to be collected) from 8 a.m. until noon on the designated Saturdays.
Examples of acceptable items include: furniture, mattresses, tires (four per household) and appliances. We take everything except: electronics, construction debris, hazardous waste items and broken glass. All brush must be cut into four foot lengths and bundled.
