Residents are provided with waste management services, including collection and disposal of solid waste and wastewater, by the Authority and its contractors. Solid waste collection services include disposal (bin) sites or house-to-house collection. Wastewater services include connection services and collection, treatment and disposal of all wastewater that enters the public system.
Solid Waste House-2-House Collection Schedules.
Residents are asked to take the time and prepare their household waste properly for disposal. All persons, who receive house-to-house collection services, are asked to place their household waste in sealed bag in a securely closed receptacle on the mornings of curbside collection.
Disposal (Bin) Sites.
The hilly terrain and narrow roadways that are name-sake to our islands tend to hamper the ease of house-to-house solid waste collection for many residents. Historically, roadside waste disposal sites have been put in place to provide residents and visitors alike the convenience of solid waste disposal.
Preserving Paradise for Community.
Keeping Paradise clean is the responsibility of all who live here or visit our shores. The VIWMA has developed a program geared to educate and involve our neighborhoods and communities in helping to not only keep their areas clean and beautified, but also to be the eyes and ears of the Authority. We ask all residents to call us and report any waste management problems that they may see, such as broken sewer lines, uncollected waste, littering violations or illegal dumpsites. We also ask them to report any acts of vandalism that they may witness against any of our facilities, equipment or vehicles.
Report A Problem.
YOU are the eyes and ears of the VI Waste Management Authority. YOU are the reason we do what we do every day. YOUR input is needed to help us to do our job to the best of our ability and to provide a safe, clean environment for you and your family…for generations to come! Help us by reporting any problems you encounter. Did you see a leaking or broken sewer line, an overflowing manhole, a pump station being vandalized? Was your garbage not picked up today? Did you see debris flying into the road from a truck without the proper coverage? Did you find an illegal dumpsite? Is your neighbor littering his property? Complete the Report A Problem form or call us today!
Recycling Information.
The VIWMA has initiated several recycling programs including collection and disposal of electronic waste, fluorescent bulbs, scrap metal and tires, aluminum can recycling, and used motor oil disposal sites. It also supports members of the community or organizations who initiate their own recycling programs or businesses.
Grants.
The Community Enrichment Grant Program will provide an opportunity for organizations, clubs, and schools to actively partner with the VIWMA to create a cleaner, healthier, and safer environment through proposed projects that emphasize recycling, reusing, reducing and composting. The Environmental Programs Division is currently finalizing the guidelines for this program.
