Buckingham County Trash & Recycling Guide

Buckingham County occupies Virginia’s Piedmont between Farmville and Charlottesville, bisected by the James River. The county’s waste disposal system has one standout feature that sets it apart from virtually every neighboring county: multiple recycling and solid waste sites that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you’ve moved here from a county where you had to plan your trash runs around facility hours, Buckingham’s setup is a genuine advantage.

Seven-Plus Recycling Sites — All Open 24 Hours
