Free monthly household hazardous waste collection events take place the third Saturday of each month, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at noon for residents of Christiansburg. Preregistration is required to bring items to these events. This enables us to have adequate staff on hand to assist with the unloading of materials and traffic flow. You must register no later than 24 hours prior to the event. You can register by calling (540) 381-2820 and dial 0 for an attendant. With this pre-registration process, we hope to reduce your wait to under 1 minute. No commercial hazardous materials are allowed. For information about service options for commercial businesses, please call MRSWA at (540) 381-2820 and dial 0 for an attendant.
