Recycling Service
Halifax Town Hall will be closed on Wednesday July 4th in observance of
Independence Day. Therefore, the Town of Halifax Solid Waste Department
will not conduct regular weekly curbside recycling until the following
week on Wednesday, July 11th.
As a reminder, the Town of Halifax offers free curbside pickup of
certain recyclable material in an effort to adhere to the requirement
that all residents and commercial establishments from which the town
collects refuse separate and make available for collection such
recyclables (Recycling Program adopted by Halifax Town Council 05-13-91
and amended on 03-14-06). Over the upcoming months and in anticipation
of the closing of the South Boston landfill, the Halifax Sanitation
Department, Halifax Town Manager and Halifax Chief of Police will
become more active in requiring compliance with the Town's mandatory
recycling program.
As an incentive to increase participation in the program, a plastic
recycling bin to collect and store material is provided by the town at
no cost. To sign up for the program, please call Halifax Town Hall at
434-476-2343. If you live or do business in the Town of Halifax
corporate limits, the town will pick up your recycling in front of your
home or business every Wednesday. Simply have your recycling bin at the
curb by 8:00 a.m.
