The City of Manassas is celebrating America Recycles Day, with a Fall Recyclefest, Saturday November 5, 2016, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Manassas Transfer Station located at 8305 Quarry Road, in Manassas.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average U.S. household generates more than twenty (20) pounds of household hazardous waste per year. In 2015, City of Manassas residents dropped off a total of more than one hundred twenty three (123) tons of recyclable material at nine (9) household hazardous waste and electronic waste drop off days held at the Manassas Transfer Station.
During Recyclefest, City residents can drop of household hazardous waste, electronic waste and shred up to four (4) boxes of their paper documents, for free. Proof of residency is required to enter and no commercial waste will be accepted.
This year, we are delighted to have a special recycling guest. Savers™ is a well-established recycling power house that collects gently used clothing, accessories and household goods and helps to support communities by donating part of the proceeds to a local organization. This year, the Martin K. Alloy Boys & Girls Club of Manassas will receive a donation based on the total weight of the recycled items they receive.
The continued support of our community makes RecycleFest the best recycling event in the City’s history. We’ve even received national recognition from Keep America Beautiful for a job well done.
Become part of the new classic recycling event in the City of Manassas – drop in and drop off at RecycleFest! For more information call (703) 257-8252.

DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
