Scrap metal removal in Harrisonburg: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Scrap metal
Special rules applyScrap metal has its own bin at the city Recycling Convenience Center, and the city's examples are an appliance with the Freon removed, a washer, a dryer, a bed frame, a lawnmower and a barbecue grill. The curbside bulk list names home appliances rather than loose metal, so a mixed metal load belongs at the center.
- City cost & eligibility
- The city publishes no per-item rate for the scrap metal bin, and the landfill's published fees run by weight and by material rather than as one metal rate. Confirm the route and the current arrangement with Public Works at 540-434-5928 before loading a vehicle.
- When & how
- The Recycling Convenience Center takes scrap metal Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to noon, closed on city holidays.
- Get it ready
- Have the Freon pulled from an appliance before it goes into the scrap metal bin, and sort the load yourself, because the center asks residents to place material into the appropriately labeled containers.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
A bulk pickup starts with a reservation
Bulk and yard debris are collected on the regular trash day, but only after the address books that day through ReCollect. The reservation closes at 12 pm on the business day before the pickup, and one reserved day covers up to five bulk items and ten yard-debris units. An item that was not part of the reservation is not collected, so book the category and the count before anything moves to the curb.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Harrisonburg.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.
Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
Who collects trash and bulk items in Harrisonburg?
The City of Harrisonburg Public Works department runs the program, and residents reach it at 540-434-5928 or PublicWorks@HarrisonburgVa.gov. Trash is collected from a city-issued Toter trash cart, and bulk and yard debris are collected on the same day as the regular trash route once the address reserves that day through ReCollect.Official guidance
What about the Freon in a refrigerator or an air conditioner?
The city's scrap metal bin at the Recycling Convenience Center asks for the Freon to be removed before an appliance goes into it, and the Rockingham County / Harrisonburg Landfill lists white goods and Freon appliances with no charge. On the curbside route home appliances are an accepted bulk item and no separate Freon step is published, so tell the receiving site what the unit holds.Official guidance
What can I take to the Recycling Convenience Center?
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, televisions, computers and other electronics, scrap metal such as an appliance with the Freon removed, a washer, a dryer, a bed frame, a lawnmower or a barbecue grill, yard debris, bagged grass clippings and sorted recycling. The center does not take construction debris, automotive parts, prescription medication, household hazardous waste or plastic types 3 through 7.Official guidance
Where does household hazardous waste go in Harrisonburg?
To a household hazardous waste day at the Rockingham County Landfill, 813 Greendale Road, for city and county residents. The next published drop-off on the city page is Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 8:00 AM to noon, and collection is limited to five units per household per event.
