Convenience Center
Henry County Convenience Center
92 Black Feather Trail, Ridgeway, VA 24148
A small county convenience center in Ridgeway where local residents drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Mostly used by people doing garage cleanouts, mowing jobs or small household projects; not a commercial transfer station.
The site is the kind of place with a handful of roll-off containers and an open drive area rather than a big building. Pull in, find a spot to unload, and toss items into the appropriate container - recyclables, trash and yard waste are usually separated. These centers are often unstaffed or only intermittently staffed, so bring anything needed to move material yourself and be prepared to carry items a short distance. Weekends, especially in spring and fall, tend to be busier than weekdays and there can be a short line to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves, a dolly or straps for heavy or awkward items; footing can be gravel and loads often need lifting.
- Sort materials at home into clear bags or piles so unloading is quicker and so recyclables don’t get mixed with trash.
- Secure loose debris in the truck bed or on a trailer to avoid mess on the road; arrive midweek if possible to avoid weekend crowds.
