(803) 642-1533Aiken County Solid Waste, Recycling, & Landfills on University Parkway is the county recycling center people in Aiken use to drop off household recyclables and keep things out of the landfill. Neighbors, landscapers, and folks cleaning out garages tend to swing by with bags and boxes when they’re clearing out clutter.
The site is the typical county setup with an entrance booth and a vehicle scale for larger loads; many county centers require a weigh-in so expect to stop twice if bringing a trailer. Pull into the lane, drive past the booth and look for rows of bins and separate drop points for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and metals. The place is large enough for trucks and trailers, with concrete pads and raised platforms at some of the drop points. Many similar centers also run special collection programs for electronics, bulky items, or hazardous household materials at set times, so those options might be available here too.
