Recycling Center
Florence County Recycling Center
1840 S Warren St, Timmonsville, SC 29161
Florence County Recycling Center in Timmonsville is the county-run spot most locals use when sorting out recyclables. Neighbors drop off household recyclables and occasional bulky items here, especially during cleanup days and after storms.
The site looks like a modest county facility - an entrance drive, an attendant booth, and a row of collection containers or roll-off bins. At county centers, there’s often a scale near the entrance and again on the way out, so expect to pull up slowly and wait your turn. Bins for common curbside materials like paper, cardboard, glass, metals and many plastics are usually separated and grouped together, and there may be a separate area for electronics or scrap metal collection when the county runs special programs. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, with a line of cars or small trucks waiting to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items already sorted by material to speed up unloading - it makes the line move faster and keeps confusion down.
- Arrive in a truck or pickup if hauling bulky items; tight lanes and limited maneuvering space can make backing trailers tricky.
- Expect a simple setup at the booth: have ID and county residency proof handy if required, and be prepared to wait during peak times like weekends or post-storm cleanups.
