Mission Statement
 
To promote the environmental and economic benefits of recycling by providing convenient access to centers, and offering free recycling education for Spartanburg County residents.

Spartanburg County's Recycling Department offers 17 staffed Recycling Convenience Centers for County Residents.  All staffed recycling centers are open Monday through Saturday from 7 AM until 7 PM, except Station #16, Wellford, which closes at 4:30 PM.

For a list of Recycling Center Locations and to learn What and Where to recycle, please go to our What and Where Can I Recycle page!

The County also offers an annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event each spring, and semi-annual Community Clean-Up Events in the spring and fall.  Please email, call, or check our website for upcoming event information.

To schedule a FREE recycling or composting education program for your school, scout troop, church group, civic club, or any other group, or to tour the Wellford Landfill, contact our Recycling Coordinator by email or phone.

We encourage all residents to recycle.  Recycling is great for the environment, conserving natural resources, preserving valuable landfill space, reducing litter, and lessening soil and water pollution.  It's also great for our economy; the County generates revenue through the sale of recyclables, and recycling is a $13 billion industry sustaining 500 companies and over 20,000 jobs in South Carolina!

HOLIDAY CLOSINGS:

The Spartanburg County recycling collection centers and the Wellford Landfill Facility will be CLOSED due to holidays on the following upcoming dates:

 Please remember that when our collection centers are closed, you cannot drop off trash. Doing so is against the law and you can be prosecuted for your actions.

Due to these closings, please anticipate slightly higher wait times, as we work to accommodate an elevated volume of traffic while maintaining a safe environment for all residents and staff.

Increased traffic will be expected at our recycling collection centers and the Wellford Landfill during this time. We continue to do our best to provide customer service to our residents and customers, and we appreciate your patience as we head into a busy holiday season.

Aside from the holiday closings listed above, all centers will be open at our regular hours (Monday through Saturday from 7 AM until 7 PM for all recycling collection centers, and Monday through Saturday from 7 AM until 4:30 PM for the Wellford Landfill). We encourage you to give us a call if you have any questions about our holiday schedule at 864-949-0211. Thank you for your patience and consideration of safety for others during this busy time of year.
