City Ordinance 2007-230-275, which was approved by City Council in November of 2007, allows receptacles to be placed on city property or in the public right-of-way no earlier than 4:00 p.m. the day prior to collection and requires the receptacles be removed by 7:00 a.m. the day after collection.
Leaving receptacles on public sidewalks, alleys, roads and other city property isn't just unsightly, it also creates unsafe conditions for pedestrians and vehicles. Please help keep these areas attractive and safe by removing your receptacles outside of the specified collection times.
Good morning, and thank you for your request, However you may contact CVWMA @ 804-343-0900 to report the recycling bins that's left out. any question please call 311.
As for the trash that has been left, I'll need a exact address so that i may request a bulk/ trash pick up.
I'm confused. This issue is about people not following City Code Section 86-44 (removing trash and recycling containers in a timely manner). Why would that complaint go to the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority? It seems CVMWA's job is to collect the stuff in the containers and that's it. If CVMWA never emptied the bins, that makes sense, but that's not the issue here. Is this not an issue for Code Enforcement???
The Richmond City Council passes an ordinance (listed above) and the City doesn't want to enforce it? Warnings have already been issued by the City of Richmond, so why would I need to contact CVMWA? The trash is in front of 3206 Ellwood Ave...next to the recycling bins that are out again today.
If the refuse receptacle or recycling bin is
not timely removed from city property, the
Department of Public Works shall cause
the account holder to be assessed a civil
penalty in the amount of $50 for each and
every calendar day that each and every refuse
receptacle or recycling bin remains on city
property beginning with the date of the most
recent past scheduled pick up time from the
Department of Public Works. Such civil
penalty shall be included on the account
holder’s monthly utility statement and shall
be subject to collection in the same manner
as other utility charges, including delinquent
charges for utilities.
@RVA: Customer Campaigner, according the the City of Richmond's official website and papers, the Department of Public Works assesses civil penalties fro receptacles left out past allowable times...not CVWMA. Please correct your information.
More recycling bins in front of 3210 Ellwood Ave. on Sept. 9, 2013...note previous warning about timely removal of recycling bins issued by the City of Richmond.
Good afternoon, and thank you for your request, However you may contact CVWMA @ 804-343-0900 to report the recycling bins that's left out. any question please call 311. We have no way of tracking the recycling bins, its CVWMA responsibility.
This is NOT a CVWMA issue. Even the city post this on their OWN website! The current notices on the bins were posted by the city, not CVWMA. Even CVWMA says the city does the enforcement and gave a city contact to handle. This is nuts. I will try to deal outside of SeeClickFix as this is becoming a joke!
Both state the City will enforce the garbage supercans and recycling bins left out passed their allowed times. Furthermore, the latter states that it is the responsibility of the Department of Public Works (Richmond City Agency) to assess the civil penalty of $50 per receptacle left out per day.
If you are in disagreement with any of the facts I have provided, please provide links to city information that contradicts my data. Otherwise, please forward to the appropriate people.

3/18/2014 - Richmond Solid Waste Mgmt noted they are continually going up to inspect this location to ask the residents to remove the collection containers - this was inspected last collection and they are going up to inspect again today after collection yesterday - rtt

@RVA:Customer Campaigner, why do you think it is the responsibility of CVWMA...I called CVWMA and they completely disagree with your assessment.
