The City of Newport News provides a scheduled collection service for large, non-containerized waste items that are too large or heavy to be handled by regular refuse collection. This service addresses items such as furniture, appliances, and large yard waste. Residents typically schedule this service in advance to ensure proper disposal of these materials.
This service is crucial for maintaining neighborhood cleanliness and preventing illegal dumping. By offering a structured means of waste removal, the city helps residents properly dispose of items that could otherwise become eyesores or environmental hazards. Historically, such services evolved from simpler waste disposal methods as communities grew and the need for organized waste management became more apparent.
