Seven new recycling centers opened up at Chesterfield parks on Friday, Sept. 22. The county chose Daniel, Dodd, Ettrick, Goyne, Horner, Huguenot, and Rockwood parks to maximize geographic coverage.
The recycling centers will accept drop-offs from dawn to dusk. They’ll take glass, paper, and plastic as a single stream of recycling, meaning users won’t have to separate these products before disposing of them.
This new focus on recycling drop-off centers comes after Chesterfield ended its public curbside program, shifting to a private model instead. When the change was announced in May, the county also said that seven-day-a-week service would resume at the northern and southern convenience centers in the fall.
