Waste Facility
Hampton Roads Recovery Center (HRRC)
1613 Centerville Turnpike, Virginia Beach, VA 23464
(757) 420-0128Hampton Roads Recovery Center (HRRC) on Centerville Turnpike is the local spot for dropping off household and neighborhood trash in Virginia Beach. Neighbors, landscapers, and people doing home cleanouts use it to get rid of bulk and regular loads.
Drive up the long entrance and there’s a small booth where an attendant will check vehicles and point the way. Vehicles usually cross a scale-expect to stop twice if that’s how the site is set up: once coming in and once leaving. The yard looks industrial: big roll-off containers, piles of material, and a few concrete pads for sorting and dumping. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so backing up onto Centerville Turnpike happens sometimes.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate loose material and bag small debris so it’s easier and quicker to tip when directed.
- Bring a tarp and straps for hauling - wind and movement can make things messy on the way there.
- Plan on some waiting time on weekends or month-end; midweek visits are usually quicker if work schedules allow.
