Beaufort County Recycling

A county recycling center that sees a mix of homeowners and small contractors hauling recyclables. Located in Beaufort, this site is the kind locals use for getting rid of big bags of paper, cardboard, cans and bottles without heading to a landfill.

Drive in slow and look for a booth or attendant near the entrance; many county centers have one and there’s often a scale nearby, so be prepared to stop twice. The recycling containers and open-top bays are usually grouped together-paper and cardboard, plastics and glass, and metals in separate piles or bins. Expect a workmanlike, no-frills layout: gravel or paved drives, directional signs, and forklifts or loaders moving material on busier days. Weekends and spring cleanup times get the longest lines, and coastal residents often use the center when clearing storm-damaged yard debris.
