(540) 434-5928Harrisonburg Recycling Convenience Center at 2055 Beery Rd is the local recycling center people from around town bring curbside bags and small loads to. Neighbors, renters, and folks doing a bit of spring cleaning all use it for dropping off recyclables and odd items that don't fit in curbside bins.
This is a practical, no-frills recycling center with a small entrance booth and several drop-off bays and roll-off containers. Expect to pull up, speak with the attendant at the booth, then follow signs to the appropriate bin area - paper and cardboard are usually separate from glass and mixed containers. The site is the type where vehicles line up on weekends and spring cleanups, so plan for a short wait during busy times. Many Virginia centers take the usual recyclables - paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals - and run special collections at times for electronics, tires, or scrap metal.
