Panola Recycling Center

Panola Recycling Center in Summerton is the local spot for dropping off household recyclables and keeping things out of the landfill. Neighbors and small haulers use it for common materials and occasional special collection programs. The site sits on Governor Richardson Road and is part of the county-style setup found around South Carolina.

Drive up to a modest entrance area where there may be an attendant booth and a scale like other county centers-expect to stop briefly before proceeding. The recycling bins are typically grouped together a short drive from the entrance; glass, paper, cardboard and metals are commonly accepted at centers like this, and some sites run special collections for electronics or bulky items on set days. The yard is mostly open pavement with labeled containers and a few roll-off areas, so bring a plan for where to pull up and how to unload. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, and coastal counties often set up extra hurricane-related collection or drop-off options when storms approach.
