Goochland County seeks part-time attendant for convenience centers

Goochland County is looking for a part-time attendant to help keep its convenience centers safe, clean and moving for residents who rely on them for weekly trash and recycling trips. The county says the job centers on monitoring activity, assisting the public with disposal, and helping maintain order at sites that serve as one of the county’s most visible local services.

The position is part-time, offers no benefits, and requires about 25 hours a week, including weekends. Applicants must pass a criminal background check and a drug screen. County materials describe the work as hands-on frontline service, with attendants helping residents separate trash and recyclables while keeping traffic flowing through the site.

That service matters because the county’s convenience centers are open to Goochland residents only, and residents must show proof of residency to use them free of charge for household trash and recyclable items. The centers are normally open Monday through Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on county holidays or other announced closures, making staffing essential to keeping the schedule dependable for families who plan disposal around work, errands and weekend cleanouts.

The county also charges fees for certain items, including tires, air conditioners, brush and refrigerators and other appliances containing Freon. Its tire disposal program covers multiple sizes, with fees ranging from $2 to $30 depending on the tire type and size. Agricultural-type tires between 24.5 inches and 42 inches off rim cost $30. Tires can be dropped off at the Central Convenience Center and the Western Convenience Center.

The Central Convenience Center is reached off Sandy Hook Road or Broad Street Road via Fairgrounds Road and Hidden Rock Lane. The Western Convenience Center is at 3455 Hadensville-Fife Road in Goochland. County job materials also show that the attendant role sits inside a broader solid-waste structure: the Convenience Center Manager class oversees attendants, assists the public, controls traffic, keeps the site in clean and neat order, and schedules recycling and waste operations. County pay-plan documents list Convenience Center Attendant classifications as part of the county’s established compensation structure.

The hiring push comes as Goochland County continues broader cleanup efforts. A community clean-up was scheduled for Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., with additional opportunities planned for September 2026 and April 2027. For residents, the county’s message is clear: keeping the convenience centers staffed is part of keeping Goochland’s disposal system safe, reliable and ready for the steady stream of household waste it handles every week.
