Recycling Center
Pickens County Recycling Station
1151 N Old Pendleton Rd, Easley, SC 29642
(864) 855-6203Pickens County Recycling Station in Easley is the county-run spot most locals use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Located on N Old Pendleton Rd, it’s aimed at residents who bring curbside-style and bulk items that don’t fit in the bin. The place sees a steady stream from nearby neighborhoods and weekend cleanups.
Pull in past an entrance booth and look for the scale and traffic flow; vehicles typically stop twice if the site charges by weight. Recycling containers are grouped together and clearly labeled, with room for cars and small trucks to pull up close for unloading. It’s not a huge industrial complex-more of a practical yard with piles, roll-offs and a few covered bays. Expect a compact layout where separate containers for common materials sit near each other; some county centers also run special programs for electronics or bulky items at certain times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials sorted by type-paper/cardboard, plastics, glass and metals-so unloading is quicker and neighbors move faster.
- Avoid the busiest times: weekends and spring cleanup days often have lines that stretch toward the road.
- Wear work gloves and tie down loose loads; the ground can be gravelly and there’s a lot of loose debris around the bins.
