Recycling in Waynesboro: A Local Guide
Waynesboro, an independent city in the Shenandoah Valley at the foot of the Blue Ridge, is served by two recycling facilities that complement each other well: a free municipal drop-off center run by the city and a private scrap-metal buying yard. Residents can handle everyday household recyclables at one and drop off metal and vehicles at the other, both open Monday through Saturday.
The Waynesboro Recycling Public Convenience Center at 301 N. Winchester Ave is the city's official voluntary drop-off program, open Monday through Saturday 7:30 AM–3:30 PM at no charge. It accepts aluminum (cans, pie tins, siding), newspapers, catalogs, corrugated cardboard, plastics #1 and #2 (rinsed, no clamshells), glass food and drink containers (brown, clear, green), metal tin, used motor oil, and used antifreeze. Fluorescent light bulbs are no longer accepted. The program diverts roughly 26% of the city's residential, commercial, and industrial waste from the landfill.
Recycle Management LLC at 715 N. Bayard Ave is one of six Shenandoah Valley yards in the Recycle Management network. This scrap-metal buyer pays market-based prices for ferrous and non-ferrous metals—steel, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, lead, insulated wire—plus junk cars, trucks, automotive parts, lead-acid batteries, appliances, and select e-waste. No drop-off fee applies; sellers receive payment for materials. Free local junk-car pickup is also available by appointment. Hours are Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–4:30 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM–noon; catalytic converters require a government-issued photo ID and ownership documentation.
