ICE RECYCLING, LLC

ICE RECYCLING, LLC is the small-town recycling center on Cedar Street that locals - homeowners and people clearing out garages - drop by to keep stuff out of the landfill. Located near the heart of Lake City, it looks like a no-frills operation meant for everyday residential and light commercial recycling needs. Expect the kind of place neighbors mention when talking about where to take paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and the odd bulky item.

Drive up on Cedar Street and you'll see a modest scale house or booth and a handful of large roll-off style containers or bins; pull up slowly so you can read the labels and signs. Many recycling centers in South Carolina accept paper and cardboard, plastics, glass and metals, and some also take electronics or have seasonal programs for hurricane debris - check locally if hauling anything unusual. Loads are typically weighed or sorted before leaving, so be prepared for a short stop to sort materials and possibly drive past the weigh station on the way out. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly get busier, and the yard has a practical, somewhat industrial look rather than landscaped grounds.
