Transfer recycling station Richmond is the local recycling center on Rokell Farm Road that residents use for household drop-offs. It’s focused on keeping materials out of the landfill, so people bring the usual recyclables and sometimes larger items that don’t fit curbside. Neighbors swing by with both small bags and the stuff that accumulates during a seasonal cleanout.
Places like this typically have a short entrance lane and often a small intake booth or scale, so be ready to pull up and stop for a moment if needed. The recycling containers are usually clustered a short drive past the gate - paper and cardboard, bins for glass and metal, and occasionally larger containers for bulky items. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, and bulky or mixed loads take noticeably longer to unload. Signs tend to point the way, so having materials pre-sorted will make the whole visit faster.
