Broad River Recycle Center

Broad River Recycle Center in Pomaria is the local recycling spot off Broad River Road used by residents who want to keep recyclables out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place families and folks doing spring cleanouts stop by with carloads or small trailers. Expect a straightforward, county-style recycling center rather than a retail or transfer station vibe.

Most county recycling centers take the usual curbside-type materials - think paper and cardboard, bottles and jars, certain plastics and metals - and some centers also run occasional electronics or household hazardous waste programs. There’s typically a small entrance booth or scale area to drive past, then pull-up lanes and a row of large open-top bins or roll-offs where people sort and drop materials. On busy Saturdays cars and small trucks can stack up, especially in nicer weather or during neighborhood cleanups, so be ready to wait a bit. The site feels utilitarian: gravel or paved drives, signage marking the different containers, and the smell and sight of compacted recyclables nearby.
