Richmond County Solid Waste/Recycling Convenience Center
Recycling Rd, Warsaw, VA 22572
(804) 333-0227Richmond County Solid Waste/Recycling Convenience Center on Recycling Rd in Warsaw is the county recycling site most residents use when clearing out bottles, cans and cardboard. It’s a modest, working place-used by people dropping off routine recyclables and the occasional bulky item.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop and tell them what’s in the load; many county centers have a scale nearby and some charge for certain items. Drive lanes are paved and there are several large roll-off containers and labeled bins for paper, glass, metals and plastics. Unloading usually means getting out of the vehicle to sort and hand items into the right container, with room for trailers and pickup trucks. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to be the busiest times, so lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into paper, cardboard, plastics and metals to speed unloading once onsite.
- Flatten boxes and bundle loose paper so it fits into the containers; bring gloves and a tarp for messy loads.
- Try to avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible - early weekday visits or later afternoons usually have shorter lines.
