Rocky Mount, the county seat of Franklin County in southwestern Virginia, has two facilities where residents and businesses can recycle or dispose of metals, appliances, and other materials. Both are located along or near Route 220 and are open on weekdays, with the county landfill also open Saturday mornings.
OmniSource Corporation at 700 Commerce Rd is a scrap-metal buying yard open to the general public and commercial clients Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (closed weekends). The facility purchases a broad range of ferrous metals — steel, iron, appliances, and junk vehicles — as well as nonferrous metals including aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and insulated wire. OmniSource pays cash for qualifying scrap; call (540) 489-7599 before your visit to check current market prices. Items containing PCBs, CFCs, mercury, radioactive materials, asbestos, or pressurized tanks are not accepted.
Franklin County Landfill (Recycling Drop-Off) on Virgil H. Goode Highway is the county sanitary landfill operated by Franklin County Solid Waste. It runs in-house recycling for scrap metal, white goods (stoves, refrigerators, dryers, dishwashers), and cardboard. It is open Monday–Friday 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. and Saturday 7:00 a.m.–noon; closed Sunday. Note that Franklin County currently collects no glass or plastic at this site because there is no active market for those materials. Call (540) 489-1600 to confirm requirements before hauling.
