Horry County Recycling Center

Horry County Recycling Center in Loris is the county-run drop-off spot for recycling in the area and mostly used by local residents hauling household recyclables. It sits on SC-9 Business just past the town limits and sees its busiest days when people are doing yard cleanups or preparing for storms. Neighbors bring cardboard, bottles, cans and the usual curbside recyclables here rather than putting everything in the trash.

Pulling in, there is typically an entrance lane with a small booth or kiosk where traffic is directed; plan to slow down and follow the attendants' directions. The site is not a neat little retail lot-expect open bays, large bins and roll-offs, with signs or markings showing where cardboard, glass, plastics and metals go. Vehicles usually pull up, unload by category, and then drive out; larger loads may require backing into a bay. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get backed up, and things move quicker when items are already sorted by type.
