The City of Norfolk in Virginia is seeking input from residents regarding the future of its curbside recycling program. The city's current recycling contract with Tidewater Fibre Corporation (TFC Recycling) is set to expire in July 2024. In an effort to gather feedback and opinions from the community, a survey has been launched and will be open until February 9th.

City leadership is interested in hearing how residents currently recycle and their vision for a city-wide curbside recycling program. The feedback received from the survey will play a crucial role in informing policy decisions and determining the funding allocation for recycling in the proposed FY 25 budget.

Residents can participate in the survey by visiting the city's website at www.norfolk.gov/RecyclingSurvey. The survey can be completed anonymously if desired. For those who prefer a hard copy of the survey, they can request one by calling (757) 441-1347 or emailing knb@norfolk.gov.

It is important for the city to gather as much input as possible to ensure that the future curbside recycling program aligns with the needs and preferences of the community. By actively engaging residents in the decision-making process, the city aims to create a recycling program that is convenient, effective, and sustainable.

In addition to the survey, residents can find more information about curbside recycling service, collection, and proper recycling practices on the city's website at www.norfolk.gov/Recycling. The City of Norfolk is committed to promoting a culture of recycling and environmental responsibility.

As the city seeks to improve its recycling program, community participation and feedback are crucial. City Manager [insert name] emphasizes the importance of resident input, stating, "We want to ensure that our curbside recycling program meets the needs of our residents.
