Before you go
- Residents of Roanoke, Roanoke County, Salem, and Vinton get 12 free trips a year (July 1 to June 30) to the RVRA transfer stations, for household waste under 500 pounds in a pickup of 1 ton or less with a Virginia license; a pickup with a trailer counts as 2 or 3 trips. Uncovered loads pay $25, and waste outside the rules costs $71.50 a ton ($17.88 minimum).
- Rental trucks and other exceptions need a waiver from the City of Roanoke first: call 540-853-2000.
