Spotsylvania County Trash & Recycling Guide
Spotsylvania County runs one of the most extensive residential waste systems in Central Virginia — thirteen convenience centers spread across the county, the large Livingston Landfill and Convenience Center complex on Massey Road, and single-stream recycling available at every location. Facilities are open seven days a week.
One critical fact every Spotsylvania resident needs to know: a residential refuse decal must be permanently affixed to your vehicle before you can use any county solid waste facility. The decal is free — but you have to apply for it before you arrive. Showing up without one means turning around.
The Refuse Decal — Start Here
Since May 1, 2021, all Spotsylvania County residents and real property owners must have a residential refuse decal on their vehicle to access any county convenience center or the Livingston Landfill. The decal is free. Apply online at spotsylvania.va.us, by mail to Treasurer of Spotsylvania County, PO Box 100, Spotsylvania, VA 22553, or in person at the Treasurer’s office at 9104 Courthouse Road. Questions: (540) 507-7058.
The decal must be permanently placed on the right side of your state inspection sticker, with its edge within 1/4 inch of the inspection sticker’s edge. Decals are issued for up to two personal vehicles per household.
