Citizens who miss their scheduled vacuum dates should bag their leaves.  Central Virginia Waste Management Authority will pick up 60 bags of leaves on your regular trash collection day. The bags must be tired and placed on the curb.  For additional information about bagged leaves, please contact Central Virginia Waste Management Authority at (804) 425-0500.
