Calendar

The Town of Christiansburg will host the semi-annual Fall Cleanup from Oct. 5 through Oct. 18. During this time, the Town will collect special items placed out at the curb at no cost to the resident. These special materials must be placed out on the resident's regular garbage collection day. (Note: The special collection trucks may run behind schedule due to volume but will attempt to follow the regular solid waste pickup schedule.) While there is no charge for items picked up during this time, there will be a charge assessed for items placed out after Oct. 18. Visit www.christiansburg.org/cleanupFAQ for a list of acceptable items that may be placed out at this time.

Help prevent identity theft, shred unwanted documents, protect identifying information and clean out clutter! The Christiansburg Recreation Center will be holding a Shred-a-Thon on October 15 from 3-6 p.m. Please bring your documents in a box or plastic tote (no larger than 22.5x18x11.5") and respect the limit of three totes/boxes per vehicle. Items that cannot be shredded include: metal, three-ring binders, composition notebooks, hanging file folders, paint brushes, padlocks, hardback books, keys, eyeglasses, bungee cords, etc. Please note that the Shred-a-Thon is a drive-thru event; please do not get out of your car and approach the collection site, but rather stay in the line of vehicles for an event coordinator to approach you. No walk ups will be allowed. For more information, contact Tammy Caldwell at (540) 382-2349 ext. 2003 or tcaldwell@christiansburg.org.

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.
