Convenience Center
Frederick County Citizens' Convenience Center
100 Shawnee Trail, Winchester, VA 22602
A neighborhood drop-off spot for residential trash, recycling and yard debris just inside Winchester. People from around Frederick County swing by with small truckloads, bags from the yard, or curbside overflow when the regular pickup won’t do.
Drive up to a paved lot with a low-profile entrance booth area and several roll-off containers or bins spread across the site. Recyclables and yard waste are usually grouped separately from regular trash, and there’s room to pull up beside the bins to unload. Expect a compact layout rather than a large transfer station-easy to navigate with a pickup truck or car and trailer, but tight if it’s busy. Weekends, especially during spring and leaf season, tend to be the slowest-moving times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loose loads or tied-down branches so material doesn’t blow out while driving through the lot.
- Back trailers up carefully; there’s limited space and tight angles around the containers.
- Go on a weekday morning if possible to avoid the weekend lines-traffic builds quickly during yard-cleanup season.
