Pawleys Island Recycling Center on Grate Ave is where locals drop off household recyclables from Pawleys Island and the nearby area. It handles the usual materials - paper and cardboard, glass, plastics and metal - and centers like this often run occasional programs for electronics or bulky-item collection.
The site is a compact drive-up lot with a small check-in booth near the entrance and a row of bins and drop-off bays. Pull in to the booth, then head to the bin that matches the material; many centers have a scale as part of the flow, so expect to stop again before leaving. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, so waits are common when lines build up. Signs over the bins indicate what goes where and there's usually room to maneuver a pickup or small trailer into a bay.

Before You Go
- Bring materials pre-sorted and flatten cardboard - it saves time and space at the drop-off.
- Try to avoid the mid-morning weekend rush; early in the day on a weekday or weekend tends to move faster.
- Secure loose items and cover loads so things don’t blow around in the lot; tarps and bungees make unloading easier.
