Our recycling sponsors directly support the operation of the YMCA's expanded recycling services to the NRV community. Without their thoughtful support, our services would not be possible. Please show your appreciation by letting these community members and businesses know you recognize their sponsorship!
Town of Blacksburg Electronics Recycling Partnership
The Town of Blacksburg has provided significant financial support to properly dispose of unusable household electronics for the residents of Blacksburg. Please let your Town represenative know how much you appreciate their leadership in protecting the environment!
RECYCLING SERVICES PROVIDED AT THE
YMCA AT VIRGINIA TECH
The YMCA Thrift Shop not only recycles its own waste, it provides this valuable service to the community, free of charge! The Y has provided a community drop off site for recycling in the far left corner of its Y Center parking lot.
This drop off site is a "single stream" recycling receptacle, meaning that all materials go into one container; no sorting is necessary. Both commingled containers and mixed paper are accepted here along with additional materials including #1 - #7 rigid plastics such as tubs, trays, & cups, clear plastic film contained in one bag, hard plastic items such as milk crates and buckets, and aseptic juice boxes. Please click here for our Community Recycling Guidelines .
IF DUMPSTERS ARE FULL, DO NOT LEAVE RECYCLING OUTSIDE OF IT. IT WILL BE THROWN AWAY AND WE ARE FINED.
Interested in supporting our expanded recycling services to the community? We need help! Please think about donating today to make sure that this service and others are available for years to come.

HOME ELECTRONICS
The YMCA will accept all of your home electronics in a partnership program with the Town of Blacksburg. The Town is directly subsidizing this service, please let them know how much you appreciate it. Electronics are accepted around back to the donation dock.
Batteries can be recycled at the Thrift Shop. The recycling container is located to the left of the main entrance of the Thrift Shop or accepted on our back dock. We are no longer recycling CFL- lightbulbs due to rising costs. We hope to offer this service in the future through our community recycling sponsorships. Become a community recycling sponsor today!
TEXTILES, BOOKS AND OTHER GOODS
All textiles and other household good that are still useable are recycled through the thrift shop. Those textiles that are unuseable are diverted from the wastestream and sent to a textile recycling plant. All books that are not either sold or given away are sent to Montgomery County Waste Authority for recycling.
