The Accomack County Department of Public Works is pleased to announce the countywide "Spring Clean-Up" to be held on Saturday, May 9, 2026. In an effort to encourage citizens of Accomack to remove unsightly refuse from their yards, homes, and communities, the Accomack County Board of Supervisors will waive tipping fees at the North Landfill and South Transfer Station for residential waste and recyclable materials brought in on this day. The waiver will also be open to non-residents possessing an Accomack County Solid Waste Decal. Commercial for hire waste haulers will be required to pay standard tipping fees.

Landfills will be open on Saturday, May 9, 2026 from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm to accept residential garbage, yard waste, and construction/demolition debris. The landfill will also accept the following recyclable materials:

• Tires (car and small truck only "LIMIT" 12 per person/day)

• Used Motor Oil, Scrap Metal, and car and truck batteries

Recycling materials, such as plastic bottles, milk jugs, detergent bottles, any #1 or #2 plastics, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, telephone books, cereal boxes, metal and aluminum cans, may be recycled at any of the County's 7 Convenience/Recycling Centers "FREE" year round.

Landfills and Convenience Centers will not accept materials deemed to be hazardous, such as: Paint, Pesticides, Biological hazards, asbestos, and heavy metals. Please check with the attendants at these sites as to where and how to dispose of hazardous materials.

The Department of Solid Waste looks forward to working with the citizens of Accomack County on this program and encourages everyone to mark their calendars for the second Saturday of May every year!
