Powhatan County Convenience & Recycling Center

Small county recycling center in Powhatan that locals use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors drop off everything from cardboard and mixed paper to glass, metals, and plastics at places like this. It’s the kind of practical stop for household cleanouts and spring yard projects.

Pull up to a single entrance with an attendant booth and a scale nearby; plan to stop twice if the scale is in use. The recycling bins are usually grouped together-paper and cardboard in one area, containers in another-and signs or attendants point to where to leave things. Expect concrete pads and roll-off containers rather than a high-tech sorting line; many people unload straight from their truck or trunk. Special programs like electronics collection, tire drop-offs, or seasonal events are common at county centers, so there’s often an extra area or container for those items.
