Serving Harrisonburg since February 1, 2011
Individuals helped build Recycle Management, and they remain at the heart of our business. Our Harrisonburg operation opened on February 1, 2011. Today, our public yard at 1610 South Main Street gives our neighbors a place to recycle everything from household metal and farm scrap to material from local shops and businesses.
A city yard for the Rockingham County community
We welcome customers from Harrisonburg and all seven Rockingham County towns: Bridgewater, Broadway, Dayton, Elkton, Grottoes, Mount Crawford and Timberville.
Our community also includes Pleasant Valley, Penn Laird, McGaheysville, Massanutten, Keezletown, Port Republic and Weyers Cave, along with Linville, Singers Glen, Hinton, Rawley Springs, Fulks Run and Bergton. Whether you live in town or out in the county, our South Main team can help you plan your scrap visit or metal container service.
Equipped to handle your scrap
Multiple platform scales for non-ferrous metals, forklifts and truck docks support everyday recycling at South Main. We also use handheld radiation detection equipment during material inspections.
Roll-off containers for scrap metal
Make room for a farm cleanup, a shop cleanout or an ongoing stream of business scrap. Our Harrisonburg team can help arrange roll-off container service for your metal and discuss the right container for your property and load.
Explore our metal dumpster service, then call the yard to arrange local service.
Propane sales close to home
Stop at our Harrisonburg location for propane sales. We work to offer the lowest propane prices in the communities we serve. Call the yard for today’s price and refill information.
Vehicle recycling & depollution
We buy scrap vehicles and have on-site vehicle depollution systems, including refrigerant (Freon) removal equipment. These systems help prepare vehicles for recycling by removing fluids and refrigerants.
Shearing, baling & material handling
Our yard is equipped for shearing and baling scrap metal, with forklifts and truck docks to support material handling. From a pickup load to business scrap, call us to plan unloading and discuss oversized items.
Supporting 4-H, FFA & our neighbors
Agriculture is part of daily life across Rockingham County. We support local 4-H and FFA programs and purchase at local fairs. Local 4-H and FFA students are welcome to use our scales free of charge; call the South Main team to coordinate a visit.
This support is part of our commitment to communities across Recycle Management’s locations. Contact your nearest public yard to arrange a student scale visit.

Before you load up
Cleaning out a garage, replacing metal fixtures or working through a property cleanout? Start with the material guide, then call South Main with a description of your items. Mention appliances, equipment that held fluids, mixed loads or unusually large pieces so the team can explain the relevant preparation and acceptance requirements.
We do not publish buying prices on this website. Material grade, preparation, market conditions, location and quantity can affect value. Call 540-908-3902 for current information about your material.
