Your Local Source for the Recovery and Recycling of Discarded Material
Since 2008, van der Linde Recycling has been keeping construction and demolition debris out of central-Virginia landfills.
Our History
In 2006, founder Peter van der Linde began questioning waste-management practices in Virginia, observing that millions of tons of construction and demolition debris were ending up in landfills every year. In response, he opened the only full-service, state-of-the-art collection and recycling center in central Virginia explicitly dedicated to construction and demolition debris.
We sort everything that comes through our doors into three streams:
- Materials sent to third-party recyclers — metal, cardboard, rigid plastics
- Recoverable materials we transform on-site into new products — mulch, gravel, topsoil
- The residual fraction that cannot be recycled, which goes to a permitted landfill
Since 2008, we've expanded acceptance to include non-traditional items like shingles, carpet, rigid plastics, and appliances. The facility is open to the public for items that curbside recycling won't take.
Our Sister Company: Clean Latrine
van der Linde Recycling is proud to be part of a family of Central Virginia businesses. Clean Latrine, our sister company based right here in Troy, provides the cleanest portable restrooms in the area — factory power-washed and steam-cleaned before every delivery, fully stocked, and always delivered on time. They serve construction sites, events, and residential projects throughout the region.
Renting both? We'll waive your dumpster's daily rental fee. If you rent a portable restroom from Clean Latrine and a dumpster from van der Linde Recyclingfor the same job site, we'll waive the $4/day rental fee on your dumpster. One call sets up both — and keeps your job site clean from top to bottom.
