Recycling in Buena Vista: A Local Guide

Buena Vista is an independent city in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, situated between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Maury River. The city's two listed recycling facilities are both private businesses focused on metals and automotive materials rather than municipal drop-off programs.

Southers Auto Salvage at 95 Bennetts Run Road is a family-owned pick-and-pull salvage yard with hundreds of used vehicles on roughly 10 acres. Customers can pull used and aftermarket auto parts themselves — bring your own tools. The yard also buys wrecked and inoperable vehicles and offers light-duty towing for car disposal. It is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4:30 PM, and closed weekends. It is not a drop-off site for household recyclables, electronics, or hazardous waste.

Auto Recyclers LLC at 1400 Sycamore Avenue handles a broader range of recyclable materials including scrap metals (copper, wire, aluminum, metal cans), automobile cores (alternators, motors), batteries, paper, cardboard, plastic, books, and computer fiber. The company serves household, commercial, school, and municipal customers. Hours are not published on its website — call (540) 261-9991 before visiting to confirm what they are currently buying and at what terms.
