Hanover County Refuse and Recycling Tranfer Station

15134 Clazemont Rd, Montpelier, VA 23192

Get Directions

A county recycling center in Montpelier for Hanover residents and local small-haulers. Neighbors and people clearing out garages or yards use it to keep recyclables out of the landfill. It’s a straightforward place for dropping off paper, cardboard, bottles and cans, and other common recyclable items.

Pull in to 15134 Clazemont Rd and you'll see an entrance booth and scales typical of transfer stations; expect to stop at the booth before proceeding. The recycling bins and drop-off bays are usually grouped together past the initial checkpoint, with larger areas for bulky items and yard debris nearby. Vehicles are directed to drive up and unload by material type, so having things loosely sorted helps speed the process. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be busiest, so lines can form at the entrance and at the unloading areas.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials ahead of time - paper with paper, cardboard flattened, bottles and cans together - to move through the bays faster.
  • Bring straps or a tarp for loose loads so nothing blows out during the trip; loose debris can slow unloading or require cleanup.
  • Try for a weekday or early morning visit to avoid weekend backups; if multiple people are coming, coordinate so only one vehicle goes through at a time.
