Recycling in Farmville: A Local Guide
Farmville is the county seat of Prince Edward County in south-central Virginia, home to Longwood University and a small downtown on the Appomattox River. Two recycling operations are listed in Farmville — both are commercial scrap businesses rather than municipal drop-off programs, but they serve distinct markets.
J & J Recycling at 2802 W 3rd Street is a scrap-metal buyer in business since 1992. Homeowners, contractors, and tradespeople can bring ferrous metals (iron, steel), non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass), and household appliances — and get paid the going market rate. There is no drop-off fee; the yard pays you. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; weekends are closed. No appointment is needed. Call (434) 392-3954 for current prices before loading up, and note that glass, plastics, paper, and hazardous materials are not in scope here.
CML Recycling at 314 Industrial Park Road is a different kind of operation: a post-industrial plastic scrap recovery and processing company serving commercial and industrial clients only. Founded in 2013, CML buys, sells, and toll-grinds HDPE, Nylon, and PP plastic scrap, and runs corporate recovery programs. It is not a public drop-off facility — household recyclables, metals, and consumer-grade plastics are outside its scope. Business hours are reported as Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (verify by phone); contact the facility in advance for a quote at (757) 749-2373 or via the CML Recycling website.
For curbside or household recycling in Farmville, contact the Town of Farmville Public Works or Prince Edward County for local convenience-center options, as neither of these two facilities operates as a public multi-material drop-off.
