Recycling

Public Convenience Center

We now accept PLASTIC #1 & #2 but aren't taking clamshell style plastic currently.

The City of Waynesboro has a voluntary drop off program for recyclable items at our Public Convenience Center located off of Delphine Avenue and Sixth Street. The recycling program diverts about 26% of residential, commercial, and industrial products that would have otherwise gone into the landfill. For your convenience, the center is now open six days a week. Below you find a list of acceptable items.
