What the county lists at Climax
Pittsylvania County says the Climax Road convenience center at 8004 Climax Road in Gretna is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The facility includes open-top boxes for bulky items and furniture, recycling containers, a compactor and a drive-through layout.
Those hours differ from many smaller county sites that operate around the clock. The county identifies Climax as one of the higher-volume centers with controlled hours.
Avoid a rejected load or litter ticket
The county's recycling guidance names mixed paper, aluminum and Type 1 and 2 plastics for large-box centers. If a recycling container is full, the county says residents may use the compactor or take materials home; leaving items on the ground can lead to a littering ticket.
- Arrive before the 8 p.m. closing time.
- Use open-top boxes for accepted bulky items, not the compactor.
- Do not leave anything beside a full container.
- Check county rules for prohibited or special-handling material.
