Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Chapin

This is the Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Chapin, the spot locals from Chapin and nearby communities use to drop off recyclables. It’s a county-run recycling center aimed at keeping common household materials out of the landfill, and regular residents and small haulers stop by here.

Drive up to a small entrance area where vehicles line up on busier days; county centers often have a booth and a scale, so be prepared for a short pause before entering. The site is mostly open yard with large containers for different materials - paper and cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals are commonly accepted at centers like this, and electronics or appliances are often handled through special programs. Pulling up close to the appropriate container makes unloading easier, and weekends, especially in spring, tend to be the busiest times with trucks and trailers sharing the lane.
