Glass Containers Are Not Accepted in Curbside Recycling
Residents have two options when it comes to glass recycling:
- Deliver used glass containers to purple, glass-only recycling containers. The closest purple container to the Mews is at Providence Community Center (3001 Vaden Dr, Fairfax, VA 22031).
- Place used glass in the trash.
If you have any questions, please contact the CMCA Board.
