Central Virginia Waste Management Authority
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA) is a public service authority that implements solid waste management and recycling programs for thirteen local governments in Virginia. CVWMA's programs include curbside recycling, drop-off recycling centers, electronic waste recycling, and household hazardous waste collection.[1]
In 1989, the Virginia General Assembly mandated the development of solid waste management plans to achieve a minimum twenty-five (25) percent recycling rate by 1995. Thirteen local governments created the CVWMA in December 1990 to work cooperatively as a region in satisfying Virginia's recycling requirement.
