City of Bluefield Curbside Recycling

Participation is simple and FREE. Collection bags are available at City Hall, located at 200 Rogers St., as well as either Fire Station. If you are unable to pick up the bags at one of the distribution points, call 327.2456 and we will deliver the bags to you.

Businesses and schools with high volume recyclables are picked up every Monday. Businesses with low amounts of recyclables may choose to use the residential pickup schedule.
