Aiken County Recycling Drop Off #7
270 Center St, Perry, SC 29137
Aiken County Recycling Drop Off #7 in Salley is a small county recycling center for residents who want to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors from around Perry and nearby rural roads haul cardboard, cans and bottles here rather than taking everything to the transfer station.
The site looks like a typical county drop-off: a small entrance booth and a few large bins or roll-offs set out in a gravel lot. Pull up to the booth first to let attendants know what's being dropped off, then move to the row of containers-paper and cardboard are usually clustered together and metal/plastic bins nearby. Vehicles commonly back up to the bins for easy dumping; bring something to cover loose loads in windy weather. Expect weekends and spring cleanup to be the busiest times, so plan for short waits.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and flatten boxes at home so unloading is quicker and the crew can point you to the right container.
- Tie or contain loose items-bags of shredded paper or small pieces-so nothing blows around the lot.
- Bring gloves and a vehicle that can back close to the bins; that makes tossing heavy items like metal or glass much easier.
