Hanover County Refuse & Recycling Convenience Center

Hanover County Refuse & Recycling Convenience Center in Montpelier is the county recycling spot most locals use for household recyclables and yard debris. Neighbors drop off things that don’t fit in curbside bins and bring bulk recyclables on weekend cleanups. It’s the kind of place someone from the county would recognize by its rows of roll-off containers and the small drive-up booth at the entrance.

Drive up the long gravel approach to a check-in booth and be prepared to slow down; there’s usually a scannable permit or vehicle check at the gate for county centers. After the booth, pull into lanes that lead to separate containers-paper and cardboard, mixed containers, glass, and a yard waste area are common at sites like this. Trucks and trailers are frequent, so watch for backing vehicles and follow posted arrows to each drop-off bay. Weekends, especially spring and fall, tend to be busiest and lines can snake around the property.
