Charlotte County Recycle Center

A local recycling center in Phenix, Virginia, used by residents and small haulers to drop off recyclables instead of taking them to the landfill. This is the kind of place people swing by with bags of cans, boxes, and mixed recyclables during cleanup days. It sits at 301 Chester St, easy to find if familiar with town roads.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to pull over briefly for check-in; many county recycling centers have a booth like that. The yard is mostly concrete and open, with large roll-off bins or indoor bays for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metal bottles and cans. Larger items and seasonal programs-electronics drop-off or yard debris collection-are commonly handled at centers like this, though specifics vary. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, and trucks and pickup trucks share the same lanes, so watch for backing vehicles.
