Trash Disposal and Recycling Drop-off

Most recyclables, including paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and jugs, glass bottle and jars, aluminum and tin, antifreeze, kitchen grease, motor oil, propane tanks (empty), lead-acid batteries, scrap metal and appliances made of 50% metal are free to drop off. However, brush, electronics (excluding flat screen monitors, CPUs and laptops) and tires will require on-site payment.

Trash disposal requires on-site payment. Payments can be made with credit cards or coupons ($4 each; sold in books of 5 online or from the following locations: Treasurer’s Office, Satellite Services Office, James City County Recreation Center, Abram Frink Jr. Community Center). The Jolly Pond Convenience Center also offers natural woody debris, leaf, construction/demolition debris, and bulky item disposal for a fee.
