Laurens County Solid Waste is the county's main solid waste site near town, used by residents hauling household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Neighbors drop off loads from pickup trucks, trailers, and cars on their way through town.
Drive in past an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles are typically weighed before and after unloading; many county sites charge by weight so be prepared to stop twice. The site is large and open with piles, roll-off areas, and rows of containers; expect some dust and the normal smells of a working landfill. Recycling and yard-waste drop-offs are usually separated from general trash, and there are clear traffic lanes for larger trucks to maneuver. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, get busy so plan for a short line at the gate and some waiting to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs; loose debris can blow out on the drive in and may not be accepted at the drop area.
- Bring proof of county residency if required by local sites-many county facilities check IDs at the booth.
- If hauling heavy items on a trailer, take the scale into account so it’s easier to pull forward and back in line without blocking traffic.
