According to National statistics, paper accounts for 40 percent of the waste stream. Most of that paper is recyclable or compostable. Rivanna Solid Waste Authority has innovative programs to recover recyclable materials from the waste stream for communities and businesses. These programs include additional newspaper and magazine drop-offs in the community and a non-traditional recyclable program for businesses.

Economic Disposal of Sensitive Documents

Do you have an office paper recycling program that is not as effective as it could be because of the disposal cost attached to destroying those sensitive documents? Is that disposal cost eating your recycling profits? Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA) applauds your efforts and would like to assist with your recycling program.

RSWA offers a Confidential Document Destruction Program at the Material Utilization Center. Documents can be destroyed for the economical price of $66 per ton. Rivanna Solid Waste Authority will issue a Letter of Destruction for documents that are disposed of at the facility.

Participation in the Program

For your convenience, the RSWA also offers a document pickup service.
