About This Location

Run by the Warren County Sanitation Department, the Earleyville convenience center at 2234 Short Mountain Road is one of the county's staffed drop-off sites for residential solid waste and everyday recyclables. Local households can bring newspaper, flattened cardboard, aluminum cans, and scrap metal here; bulkier items like used tires go to the county's separate tire site on Belmont Drive. The center keeps split hours — early mornings some days and late afternoons on others — so check the schedule below before you load the truck.
