    • You asked for it, you're getting it!

      Over the last several years we have been asked numerous times about what County residents can do with their old worn out tires. The answer has NEVER been to throw them along the side of the road!

      So a couple of years ago the County, along with Northern Neck Soil and Water, began offering tire amnesty day for all County residents to dispose of their old tires once a year. The day was a huge success and by our count, Richmond County has collected over 10,000 used tires in the past three years.

      Beginning on November 1st, the Indianfield Convenience Center will begin accepting passenger car and truck tires every day! Seven days a week you will be able to dispose of your old tires.

      Rules do apply:
      -County Residents ONLY, not for commercial businesses!
      -Limit to 4 tires per person per day
      -Passenger car and truck tires, up to 35" in height, no wheels or rims.

      This initiative started with the newly formed Richmond County Anti-Litter Committee, and was approved by the Richmond County Board of Supervisors.
    • Just a reminder that beginning tomorrow, November 4th, the hours of operation for all County convenience centers (Indianfield, Newland and Farnham) will be 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. These hours will continue until the end of Standard Time (March 10, 2019).
