Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Leesville

Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Leesville on S Lee St is where Batesburg‑Leesville residents drop off household recyclables and small cleanup loads. Neighbors bring things from the garage and kitchen rather than hauling them to a landfill. It mainly handles everyday recyclables the county collects.

Visits are practical and a little old‑school: expect to pull up to a small entrance area with a scale and booth common at county centers, stop briefly, then be directed to drop‑off lanes or recycling bins. The site is mostly paved with large containers or bays for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metals - the usual items taken at recycling centers. Vehicles with trailers will need a bit more room to maneuver; watch for traffic on busy weekends. Many people cross the scale again on the way out since these centers often charge by weight.
