VPPSA claims that it had asked TFC for documents on multiple occasions so that it could confirm the correctness of its billing. It hasn't, however, gotten the required paperwork. The authority's recommendations and corrective action plan have also not received a favorable response from TFC.
VPPSA and TFC signed a curbside recycling contract in December 2018 that was last modified in December 2023. The contract covers the City of Hampton as well as the counties of Mathews, Middlesex, Essex, King and Queen, and King William. The impacted municipalities are reportedly developing their own recycling strategies.
