Pittsylvania County has 24 convenience centers and 7 "greenbox" sites spread across the county. Our “Convenience Centers” are waste disposal facilities for our County residents to dispose of residential, household generated waste. They consist of compactor units to handle normal trash and larger open-top containers for large or bulky items.

Learn more about what types of items can be disposed of at our convenience centers. 

The County is continuing to add new convenience centers and improve existing ones. New convenience centers opened in Climax and Level Run Road in the late fall of 2022, and another in Meadow Ridge Court is expected to open in the Spring of 2022.  

Greenbox Sites 

Our greenbox sites are located where travel distance to our convenience centers is outside of an acceptable range. We are currently working to develop additional convenience centers which will allow us to eliminate some greenbox sites that are not as cost effective to maintain and do not provide a great experience for our users.

A crew of drivers are always on the road, using rolloff trucks to haul trash from these convenience centers back to the Pittsylvania County landfill. Several of the most frequently visited sites are also manned by attendants to ensure that citizens have access to everything they need and to ensure that the sites aren't abused by contractors. For everyone's safety, Pittsylvania County does not permit salvaging, scavenging, or reclaiming items from our convenience centers or greenbox sites. We regularly monitor these sites for improper usage and violators will be ticketed for illegal use.

All sites have containers for recycle aluminum cans and newsprint. Mt Hermon Collection Center also has a container for cardboard.
