Smith County Solid Waste Convenience Center

Smith County Solid Waste Convenience Center in Gordonsville is the county-run spot locals use to drop off household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Short haulers and pickup-truck loads show up here most days, especially on weekends and during yard-cleanup season.

Drive up the long driveway to an entrance booth where attendants usually wave you through after a quick check. There’s a scale and another stop before leaving, so be prepared to pull forward and stop more than once. Recycling bins and piles for brush are set off to the right past the main drop area, while larger dumpsters and transfer bays sit back toward the center. The site is open-air with gravel and pavement surfaces, and lines can form on busy days.
