(540) 997-5036Rockbridge Co Recycling Department is the county recycling center out on Maury River Road in Goshen, Virginia. Neighbors use it for household recyclables and for stuff that doesn't fit the curbside bin. Common accepted materials at centers like this include paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, many plastics and yard debris, and many places run occasional special collections for electronics or bulky items.
Expect a small entrance area with a pull-up spot and usually a booth or scale where vehicles may need to stop; many centers charge by weight so plan for a brief delay. The site typically has rows of large bins or roll-off containers and open concrete pads where people sort and unload; glass, cardboard and metals are commonly separated. Sorting most of your load before getting out of the car speeds things up and keeps the site cleaner. Weekends-especially spring cleanup weekends-can back up into the road, so lines are not unusual.
