SPSA : Facilities : Household Hazardous Waste Disposal

SPSA operates eight household hazardous waste collection facilities. The Virginia Beach and Suffolk Regional Landfill facilities are open full-time, Monday through Saturday. The remaining six are open based upon a monthly recurring schedule (please see below). Residents from all member communities may bring unwanted products to any of our established household hazardous waste facilities to be disposed of safely, free of charge. Limit disposal to five gallons of liquid or 75 pounds of solid waste per visit.

Please note that while citizens from any of SPSA's member communities may go the Virginia Beach Landfill to dispose of their household hazardous waste, only Virginia Beach residents are allowed to use the Virginia Beach Landfill to dispose of their household garbage. The Virginia Beach Landfill will not allow residents of other communities on their property with mixed loads of hazardous and solid waste. Proof of residency is required to dispose of your household garbage at the Virginia Beach Landfill.

Residents can still bring their used oil to any transfer station to deposit it in the used oil containers.
