Special Waste Collection Event: Norfolk Recycles Day
Saturday, May 9, 2026
Do you have household hazardous waste (HHW), electronics, plastic bags or even old child safety seats taking up space? Dispose it properly at Keep Norfolk Beautiful’s “Norfolk Recycles Day” Special Waste Collection Event on Saturday, May 9 at Azalea Baptist Church.
This drive-through and drop-off event offers Norfolk residents the opportunity to properly dispose of items that include paint, batteries, pesticides, cooking and automotive oils, propane tanks and more, free of charge.
Proof of residency may be required. Residents can also bring personal documents for secure, on-site shredding and drop off used, expired, worn or otherwise unsafe child safety seats for recycling.
Volunteers will be on site to accept canned and nonperishable food donations for the PrimePlus Senior Center Food Pantry.
Pet food donations for the Norfolk Animal Care Center Pet Pantry will also be accepted – any size or flavor, wet or dry, as long as it’s unopened.
Special thanks to Azalea Baptist Church for hosting this event.
Partners from SPSA Norfolk, Goodwill Hampton Roads, Shred-It, AAA Tidewater Virginia, Drive Safe Hampton Roads and City of Norfolk Waste Management are providing services.
Volunteers from Keep Norfolk Beautiful, Norfolk CERT, Norfolk Environmental Commission and Camellia Shores Civic League will be helping on site.
