Get Directions

Aiken County Recycling Drop Off #3 is the county recycling center in Aiken for residents wanting to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Locals bring household recyclables and occasionally items for special collection programs; it’s the sort of place people use when cleaning out garages or after a small project. The site is practical and busy at peak times, not a fancy retail spot.

The drive in typically has a small entrance booth and a few large collection containers or roll-off bins where materials are dropped off. Expect to sort materials by type - paper and cardboard, glass, plastics and metals are commonly accepted, and some centers run periodic electronics or household hazardous waste programs. Vehicles pull up to the appropriate bin, hand items over or unload directly, then drive out; there’s usually a scale or checkpoint for certain loads at county centers. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to be the busiest, so lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials loosely grouped by type so unloading goes quicker - flattened cardboard and bundled paper save time and space.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings if possible; midweek or late afternoons are often less crowded.
  • Secure loose items in the truck bed or trunk so nothing blows out while waiting in line, and have a tarp or straps handy for odd-shaped loads.
