Chesterfield has announced that seven-day operations at its waste drop-off convenience centers will begin Wednesday, Nov. 1. The county has two convenience centers which thus far have only been open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Now, they’ll be open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The centers will not only be expanding their hours. Chesterfield says that plans are underway for recycling express lanes to open in the spring of 2024. The lanes would allow residents dropping off only recycling to bypass the rest of the line.
Additionally, both centers — the Northern Area Convenience Center at 3200 Warbro Rd. and the Southern Area Convenience Center at 6700 Landfill Dr. — will expand their hours for the next two Wednesdays. The centers will be open Oct. 18 and Oct. 25 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The county also recently opened seven drop-off centers at public parks which are available daily from dawn to dusk.
