Who can use it
The official curbside recycling-information page lists this as a city recycling center at 2500 West Neck Road, between Nimmo Parkway and North Landing Road. That page does not separately restate a residency rule for West Neck. The city's Landfill and Resource Recovery Center, which is a different site, requires proof of Virginia Beach residency. Confirm access rules at the gate. Due to space limitations, trailers are not permitted at this location.
Hours
- Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- The official holiday schedule covers both the Landfill and Resource Recovery Center and the West Neck Recycling Center.

Other notes
- This is a different facility from the Landfill and Resource Recovery Center at 1989 Jake Sears Road, which is open Tuesday through Saturday. West Neck is open Monday through Saturday. The city's trash-and-recycling overview also lists West Neck at 2500 West Neck Road, 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
- The official recycling-information page does not itemize the materials accepted at West Neck. It describes the site as a recycling center and lists curbside-cart exclusions (including household garbage, hazardous waste, appliances, and electronics) as items that can be taken to the Landfill and Resource Recovery Center. Confirm what West Neck accepts at the site or with customer service before you go.
