What about the BLUE bins?

Residents are encouraged to keep their blue bins to allow for additional trash capacity. However, residents who do not wish to retain the blue bin may contact the City beginning July 1 at 757-382-2489 to request it’s collection. Note that residents who voluntarily surrender their blue bin(s) acknowledge that should they require an additional bin in the future, they must purchase it by contacting the Treasurer’s Office. Additionally, no refunds will be provided for voluntarily surrendered bins that were purchased by residents.
