Greg
Have you checked www.findacomposter.com?

There are 5 sites listed in VA, with one in Waverly. Maybe one of them can 
help.

Subject: [USCC] Horse manure availability


> The owner of a large horse stable has large amounts of both
> partially-composted and un-composted horse manure/shavings which she
> would like removed.  The operation is located just west of Ashland,
> VA about 3-4 miles from Interstate 95 in Hanover County.  The
> existing manure+sawdust horse bedding pile is about 200 yards in
> length and ranges from 9-15 feet in depth.  Stockpiled bedded manure
> is upwards of 5 years old.  In addition, the operation generates 350
> cubic feet of manure/shavings daily.  No adequate equipment is
> available on site to load material into large trucks.  Only a small
> loader is available for loading pick-up trucks.  Owner does not have
> sufficient funds to pay for removal.  She is looking for assistance
> in removing the current pile and also establishing a method for daily
> waste removal.  If you know of composters who would either wish to
> compost on-site or remove the material to another site, please contact:
