Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Pelion

1325 Pine St, Pelion, SC 29123

(803) 755-3325

Small county recycling center in Pelion that locals use for household recycling and drop-offs. The place mainly attracts residents hauling car- or truck-sized loads rather than commercial haulers. Expect a functional, no-frills site that looks like a typical Lexington County collection point.

Drive up Pine Street to a low-profile entrance with a small attendant booth and open lanes leading into the site. There are bulk containers and roll-off bins grouped by material, usually off to the right once past the booth, with room to pull up and unload from a truck or SUV. The surface is gravel or paved and the overall footprint is modest - not a large transfer station, but big enough for several cars and pickups. Many county centers nearby also run occasional special collection events, so some weeks will have extra trailers or signs for electronics or hazardous-collection days.

Before You Go

  • Sort and bundle materials at home: flatten boxes, tie cardboard, and keep recyclables separated to speed unloading.
  • Use a tarp and straps for loose loads - it keeps stuff contained and makes unloading less messy for the next person.
  • Avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; early weekday mornings are usually quieter and make backing into bins easier.
