Convenience Center
Frederick County Citizens' Convenience Center
135 Sand Mine Rd, Gore, VA 22637
Small county drop-off spot used mostly by residents of Gore and surrounding Frederick County. Easy to swing into with a pickup or trailer; typical neighborhood crowd rather than commercial trucks. Expect a simple setup aimed at household-sized loads.
Drive up to a single entrance-there’s usually a booth or station where vehicles queue briefly before pulling up to the containers. Several large roll-off style bins and a separate area for recyclables and yard debris are common at this type of center. Bring items ready to lift or toss; the site is set up for quick drops rather than unloading assistance. Lines form on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so the site feels busiest then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp to keep things tidy while unloading-bins can be deep and awkward to reach into.
- Back the vehicle up where there’s room to maneuver; smaller aisles mean long trailers need extra care when turning.
- Sort materials beforehand into a trash pile, recyclables, and yard waste so dropping off is faster and other users aren’t held up.
