Recycling in Kenbridge: A Local Guide
Kenbridge, the county seat of Lunenburg County in south-central Virginia, is home to two recycling-related facilities on Main Street, each serving a distinct audience. Residents looking to recycle common scrap metals have a public drop-off option, while automotive businesses handling catalytic converters and precious-metal-bearing materials have a dedicated commercial processor nearby.
ABC Recycling, at 500 Main Street, is a family-oriented scrap-metal buying yard open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (closed weekends). Walk-ins are welcome with no appointment needed. The yard purchases steel, aluminum, copper, brass, batteries, rims, starters, alternators, AC compressors, radiators, engines, electric motors, and catalytic converters — paying customers based on current commodity prices. Businesses can also arrange 20-yard or 40-yard commercial scrap container service; call (434) 676-9222. The facility's south-central Virginia location draws customers from VA, NC, SC, and TN.
Global Refining Group, at 618 Main Street, is a business-to-business catalytic-converter and Platinum Group Metal (PGM) processing and refining operation open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. It serves auto recyclers, scrap yards, dismantlers, tow companies, and repair shops — not individual consumers. Sellers must present a valid business license and photo IDs of all business owners under the company's anti-theft policy. Payment is based on per-piece grading or assay/toll-refining terms tied to live platinum, palladium, and rhodium prices.
