Kershaw County Solid Waste
3007 John G Richards Rd, Kershaw, SC 29067
(803) 475-7724Kershaw County Solid Waste in Camden is the county solid waste site people bring household trash, yard debris, and recyclables to. Neighbors, landscapers, and anyone cleaning out a garage use this place when they need to drop off mixed loads.
Drive up John G Richards Road and pull into the entrance where there’s usually a small booth and a gate. You’ll cross a scale on the way in and again when leaving, so plan for a short stop. The site is open-air with rows of drop-off areas and big roll-off style containers; recycling bins and a separate pile for yard waste are easy to spot once past the booth. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so expect a line and short wait times during peak hours.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads - branches and dirt tend to spill and slow unloading.
- Bring work gloves and closed-toe shoes; unloading is mostly manual and surfaces can be rough.
- Try to arrive early on weekends or late afternoons on weekdays to avoid the longest lines.
