Barnwell Recycle Center

Barnwell Recycle Center is the county recycling site on SC-64 that locals use when clearing out cardboard, cans, bottles and other curbside recyclables. Regular people dropping off household recyclables and folks with pickup loads stop here - it's the sort of place seen more during spring cleanups and after storms.

The site looks like a typical rural county recycling center: a small entrance booth and a drive-up area with large roll-off containers and recycling bins. Expect to pull up to the booth first, then follow signs or attendants to the correct container for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals; some centers also run special collection programs for electronics or batteries on certain days. A scale is often part of the layout, so there can be a short stop at intake and again on exit if the site weighs loads. Weekends and the week after bulky-trash collections tend to be the busiest times, with lines stacking up during daylight hours.
