Schedule a Special Pickup

Residents wishing to dispose of brush, debris or bulky rubbish outside the scheduled pick up time must schedule a special pickup. Special pickups are provided to trash customers outside of the fall and spring cleanups. There is a $75 prepaid charge per dump truck load. Pickups are every Friday excluding holidays. The $75 has to be prepaid by the Wednesday of the week you would like the pickup. Payments can be made over the phone at 540-443-1060 using a Visa or MasterCard or in person at the cashier's window on the second floor of the Municipal Building at 300 S. Main Street.

National Prescription Drug Take Back

The National Prescription Drug Take-Back will take place Saturday, April 28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Blacksburg Community Center parking lot, 725 Patrick Henry Dr. Local residents can return their unwanted, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs for safe disposal. Please do not bring needles or aerosol medications.

The National Prescription Drug Take-Back addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are at alarming rates, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that many abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety and health hazards.
