The Town of Gordonsville is pleased to announce the opening of a recycling center on Town property located behind China Restaurant in the Gordonsville Plaza shopping center. The site will open to serve the community on February 1, 2021, and will be a part of Orange County’s Single Stream Recycling Program.

Residents in the community may bring their recyclable materials, including aluminum cans and foil, glass bottles (all colors), newspapers, catalogs, junk mail, cardboard, and plastic containers (#1 - #7) all together for single-stream recycling at this location. Container lids must be removed, cardboard must be flattened, and containers must be emptied and rinsed. More information about the items that are accepted at the site is posted on each dumpster, and is also available here.  

Town Manager Deborah Kendall stated, “Mayor Coiner and the members of Town Council are very excited to bring recycling to Gordonsville citizens, and the Town appreciates Orange County working with us to make recycling a reality for our community through their Single Stream program. I want to thank the Town’s Public Works Director, Vincent Seal, and the crew of the Town’s Public Works Department for all their hard work in getting the site ready for use.”

The site will be open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, and collection bins will be emptied once a week by the County’s recycling vendor. To help keep the site clean and to protect those who use it, the property will be surveilled by the Town. “The site is not a trash collection site, and dumping of non-recyclable material will not be permitted,” said Mrs. Kendall. “We appreciate everyone’s effort to help us keep the recycling center clean so it can be available to serve our community for a long time to come.”
