Recycling in Manassas: A Local Guide
Manassas, the independent city in Northern Virginia that anchors Prince William County's commercial corridor, is home to two recycling facilities located within half a mile of each other off Wellingford Drive — one specializing in certified electronics recycling, the other in scrap metal purchasing.
Potomac Ecycle, at 7941 Wellingford Dr, is an R2/RIOS-certified electronics recycling and secure data destruction company founded in 2009. Operating out of a 20,000-square-foot facility, the company primarily serves businesses and government agencies in the Virginia, Maryland, and DC metro area. It accepts computers, laptops, servers, networking gear, tablets, cell phones, televisions, batteries, and other e-waste. Business customers may drop off electronics every Wednesday during normal hours (8:00 AM–5:30 PM) without an appointment; other days require scheduling. The facility pays for high-value items such as complete laptops and circuit boards, while some items like printers and peripherals carry a disposal fee. Note that Potomac Ecycle is not a residential drop-off center; their FAQ directs residents to Prince William County's tax-funded programs.
Prince William Metal Recycling, at 7905 Notes Dr, is a scrap-metal facility operating under the Smith Industries Group network. The yard purchases scrap metals from both residential and commercial customers in Prince William County and surrounding Northern Virginia. As a scrap metal dealer, it generally pays per-pound rates tied to current commodity markets. Virginia state law (Va. Code § 59.1-136.3) requires scrap metal dealers to record seller identification for certain regulated metals, so bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Hours and specific accepted-material lists were not independently verified at the time of this listing — call +1 571-292-2005 or visit the Smith Industries Group website before your trip.
