Lexington County Solid Waste Management
498 Landfill Ln, Lexington, SC 29073
(803) 755-3325Lexington County Solid Waste Management at 498 Landfill Ln in Lexington is the county’s solid waste site where locals drop off household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Neighbors, contractors with small loads, and anyone clearing out a yard or garage use this place regularly.
Drive up to a clearly marked entrance with a small booth; there’s usually a scale to cross so expect a brief stop on the way in and again on the way out. Past the booth the property opens to a large working area with containers and a wide tipping zone rather than a tidy storefront. Recycling bins and yard waste sections are set off to the side, and lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup. Staff will direct traffic, so watch for cones and directed lanes while maneuvering larger loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of county residency-many county sites check IDs for residential drop-off.
- Tie down loose loads and cover dusty material; the open tipping area can be windy and messy.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; midweek or late afternoons are often quicker during non-peak seasons.
