Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Bush River Road in Columbia

A county-run recycling center on Bush River Road that locals use for curbside overflow and seasonal cleanups. Neighbors drop off things that don't fit in regular bins and anyone looking to keep recyclables out of the landfill comes here.

Drive up to a modest entrance with a small booth where attendants usually direct traffic; larger pickups and trailers are common. The site is open-air with a series of large containers and covered bays for different materials, and vehicles pull up to specific containers to unload. Expect trucks and pickups moving slowly through the lanes and volunteers or attendants guiding traffic during busy times. Weekends and spring cleanup periods can get noticeably crowded, so there may be a short wait to reach the right container.
