Recycling in St Thomas: A Local Guide

St. Thomas, the most populous island of the U.S. Virgin Islands, has two facilities listed for recycling and material recovery. The two operations serve very different needs: one is a government-run household drop-off for residents, the other is an auto-salvage and towing service for end-of-life vehicles.

The Mandahl Convenience Center, operated by the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) on the Northside of St. Thomas, is the island's main staffed drop-off for USVI residents. It accepts everyday household waste (up to two loads per resident per day), bulk items such as furniture and mattresses, white goods and appliances (refrigerators, stoves, washers, A/C units), scrap metal, and electronic waste including computers, TVs and cell phones. Regular hours are Monday through Saturday 6 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 6 AM to 4 PM. Commercial and business waste, green waste and agricultural waste are not accepted.

All Around Towing at 32B Frydendahl Drive is a 24/7 towing, roadside-assistance and auto-salvage company. It hauls totaled and end-of-life vehicles to its St. Thomas salvage yard and scraps them for parts. This is not a household recycling drop-off — for general recyclables, residents should use the Mandahl Convenience Center or contact VIWMA at viwma.org.
