A small local waste drop-off at the Flying J Travel Center location in Blacksburg, used by residents hauling household trash and yard debris. Neighbors and folks passing through town bring pickup loads and small trailers here for disposal. It feels like a practical, no-frills spot where people stop on their way to other errands.
Approach from N Mountain St and look for a gated entrance and a booth or attended point where vehicles pull up; larger trucks and trailers can usually pull through without tight turns. The site looks like a typical county convenience center with concrete pads, roll-off containers, and a few sorting areas; expect to see other pickups and occasional trucks. Traffic can back up on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a short wait to get to the drop-off point. Follow posted signs and the attendant’s directions for where to unload and which container to use.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps so loose material doesn’t blow out while waiting in line or driving through the site.
- Bring something long enough to prop open a container lid or help push items if needed - it’s handy when unloading from a truck bed or trailer.
- If towing, approach with plenty of clearance in mind; there’s room for pull-throughs but tight turns and backing are common, so plan maneuvering space.
