Convenience Center
Western Convenience Center
3455 Hadensville-Fife Rd, Goochland, VA 23063
(804) 556-5375Small neighborhood drop-off for Goochland residents who need a quick place to unload household trash and recyclables. This is a convenience center-sized site, the kind used for routine cleanouts and yard debris rather than large commercial loads. Locals swing by in cars, pickups, or small trailers mostly on weekends or after yard work.
The site is compact with a single entrance drive and a small booth area near the road; traffic can back up on Saturdays. Pull up to the nearest container for the material being dropped off and have items loosely sorted before getting out of the vehicle. Expect a cluster of roll-off style containers and a separate pile area for leaves and brush. Bring straps or a tarp for loose loads and plan on backing in if towing a trailer.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go during weekday mornings if possible-weekend afternoons get crowded, especially during spring cleanup season.
- Sort recyclables and yard debris before leaving the car so the drop-off is quick and others aren’t waiting behind.
- Secure loose material with tarps or straps; brush and yard waste can blow around on windy days and make unloading messier.
