Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Hollow Creek in Gilbert

Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Hollow Creek in Gilbert is the county recycling spot most locals use for curbside overflow and bigger drop-offs. People from around Gilbert and nearby neighborhoods bring cardboard, cans, bottles and other common recyclables here. Expect a no-frills, practical place aimed at keeping stuff out of the landfill.

There’s an entrance booth to check in and a scale to drive over, so plan on stopping twice - in and out. The recycling containers are easy to find near the main drive; larger items usually have separate areas. The site is the kind of open, gravel-and-pavement layout that handles trucks and trailers as well as cars, and lines form on Saturdays and during spring cleanup. Staff typically direct traffic, so follow their hand signals and be ready to unload quickly.
