(803) 635-8009Fairfield County Recycle Center in Winnsboro is the county recycling spot most local residents use to drop off bottles, cans, paper and other common recyclables. Neighbors swing by with carloads and pickup loads alike, especially during cleanup days and after yard work.
Pull in off State Rd and head toward the small entrance area where vehicles line up before the public bins. The recycling containers sit out in the open on concrete pads, with larger items and cardboard usually separated from curb-style bins for glass and cans. Expect to share the yard with a few commercial trucks and trailers; weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines. A scale or pay point is common for county centers, so plan for a brief stop on the way out.
