April 2 Status Update: The Latest from York County

As stated yesterday, VPPSA closed its Compost Facility located at the Waste Management Center beginning Friday April 3.  During this temporary closure, citizens should utilize the County's Curbside Yard Debris Collection program by calling (757) 890-3780 or through our online Customer Service Request. 
 
In the interim, County staff will do its best to provide limited service.  Citizens and local contractors with essential yard waste disposal needs who are delivering these materials to the Waste Management Center will be directed to an alternate location on-site to drop off limbs, branches, and clear bags of natural yard waste.
