Lake Monticello Recycling Center

A small recycling center tucked into the Lake Monticello area that locals use to drop off household recyclables and bulky recyclables that don’t belong in curbside bins. Neighbors swing by with carloads from weekend cleanups or larger items from property projects; it’s the kind of place people in Blair know to use when they want to keep stuff out of the landfill.

Like many county or community recycling centers in South Carolina, expect a simple, workmanlike site with rows of recycling containers or bays for paper, cardboard, metals and mixed containers. Pull up slowly at the entrance and look for an attendant booth or a sign with directions; vehicles often need to back into drop-off bays to unload. The area is outdoors, so bring something to keep materials from blowing away and be prepared for trucks coming and going. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be noticeably busier, so lines at the drop-off points are common.
