Recycling Center
Horntown Conv. Center & Recycling
5536 Fleming Rd, Horntown, VA 23395
Horntown Conv. Center & Recycling at 5536 Fleming Rd is the local recycling drop-off for people around Horntown, Virginia. Neighbors bring everything from cardboard and mixed paper to metals and glass, and local collection events or special programs for electronics or hazardous items sometimes happen here.
This is a small-town recycling center, so expect a practical, drive-up layout with trucks and roll-off containers on-site. Materials are usually sorted into separate bins or bays-cardboard, cans, glass and common plastics are typically accepted, and there may be a separate area for electronics or seasonal collection programs. Plan on pulling up, unloading into the right container for each material, and then leaving; many similar centers handle residential and light commercial loads differently and may weigh vehicles. Busy times include weekend mornings and spring cleanup, when lines and waits can form.

Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted and flattened where possible-keeps the line moving and saves time at the containers.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed or tied down so nothing blows out while driving; tarps and gloves are handy for messy loads.
- Avoid peak weekend mornings if possible; early weekday afternoons are often quieter at small community centers.
