Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Southeast in Swansea

Lexington County Collection and Recycling Center at Southeast in Swansea is a county recycling center where locals drop off household recyclables and keepables that might otherwise end up in the landfill. Neighbors, people cleaning out garages, and folks with curbside overflow tend to use this place. It’s the kind of county-run site that’s familiar to anyone who hauls material themselves.

A small entrance booth and a scale are common at these county centers, so expect to slow down when entering and again when leaving. There are large recycling containers and covered bays for different materials, with walk-up sorting areas for lighter stuff and open spaces for trucks and trailers. Traffic can back up on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, and the site surface is mostly gravel or paved with clear vehicle lanes for pull-up unloading. Signs and basic staff instructions usually point to where to leave cardboard, metals, and single-stream recyclables.
