It's been a few years since my original review, they still get five stars from me. It's a recycling…read morecenter so it's dirty, it's loud, it's busy, it's confusing, they close early (3:45PM), they aren't open weekends, the location can be difficult to get into or out of (depending on traffic), etc... So why the five star rating? They pay good money for your scrap metal and it's relatively quick and easy. I've been here several times over the years. My wife saves all our aluminum cans (crushed and in large trash bags) and other metal scraps. On my most recent visit I had half a dozen or so large trash bags of crushed aluminum cans and some miscellaneous aluminum pieces that netted me about $30. On my previous trip I had cans and some old gutters which got me $44. Okay, you're not going to get rich on this but it makes a difference. The whole experience is pretty quick and painless as it usually takes me about an hour to load the truck, drive to recycling center, unload, get paid and return home. Not a bad payout for minimal effort. The yard is set back from S. Military Hwy. in Chesapeake just east of the Gilmerton Bridge. After you turn off S. Military into the business you will be mostly driving on dirt so don't head over there after a fresh wash job on your truck. Pull up on the scales and give the attendant your name then head into the yard. Make sure you are wearing a face mask or they won't let you in as they have COVID protocols in place. If you aren't familiar be sure to ask the attendant what to do. The attendant will ask you what type of scrap you have then direct you to the appropriate area where you will have to wait for another employee to assist you. It's all pretty quick and painless. You unload your scrap as directed, fear not as they will help you if you need or desire assistance. After you've unloaded just head to the inside scale area as directed where they will weigh your scrap then direct you into the office where you will show the attendant your ID then receive your cash. From there just get back into your vehicle and exit the yard. It's just that easy. All the employees I've dealt with on my visits have been pleasant and very helpful so you don't have to worry about not knowing what to do when you get there. I think it's great to have this facility available where we can get rid of some scrap and get a few dollars. Thank you Elizabeth River Recycling for making it so easy.

They next day they called in the morning to say they were in the area, so no problem there. They were friendly and fast.

Once you pull…read moreacross the scales, they direct you to a covered unloading area where they will actually unload you. It's quick and easy. If you have copper or aluminum, this is the place to go, but I will say that if you have a lot of steel or cast iron, you should probably go somewhere else, because I don't think that they pay as much for these items as some of the other yards. That's my opinion, but you can always call around first to see who has the best price. At any rate, it's a good family owned business that I would recommend.

You have to gather up your trash and take it to a county facility that collects it. These convenience centers are the place for you to take your trash, recycling, used oil/antifreeze, etc. without having to drive all the way to the dump. It isn't an easy job working at one of these places. The employees have to brave the elements and an assault on their senses at times. Every employee at this facility has impressed me with a happy attitude and a motivated work ethic. Essentially here is what you do. You drive in with your trash around to a large green container that has a compactor attached and park beside it. If there is a line, you wait your turn to toss in your trash bags. For recycling, this is a sort of platform wooden deck where you walk up and dump your recycling bins of glass and plastic into another large green container box. Cardboard goes in yet another monster green box. They want recycled plastic to be food grade plastic and it can be commingled with glass. Cardboard has to be "clean"; nothing wet or greasy like pizza boxes. If you ever visit one of these places, do your best to show kindness and respect to the employees. They deserve it!
