Albemarle, VA… September 3, 2025… The Rivanna Solid Waste Authority is announcing that cash payments will not be accepted at the Ivy Solid Waste & Recycling Center beginning on February 2, 2026.
As part of our operational optimization efforts, we conducted a thorough review of controls and procedures at the ISWRC. This review highlighted opportunities to streamline our payment processes, enhance overall security at the facility, and reduce wait times at the ISWRC scale house by expediting transaction processing. To achieve these process optimizations, we will only be accepting credit/debit card and check payments. This change will take effect on February 2, 2026.
We recognize that many customers pay with cash at the ISWRC, and we are committed to facilitating a smooth transition to our updated payment procedures. This change will take effect in February in order to allow customers appropriate time to select an alternative payment method.
