Pickens County Recycling Station in Six Mile is the county-run recycling center at 127 Willow Spring Rd used by local residents dropping off curbside overflow, bags from cleanouts, and recyclables from small businesses. People who live nearby swing by with sorted loads rather than large commercial hauls. The place feels like a practical stop rather than a retail spot - bring what needs recycling and be prepared to do a bit of unloading.

Most county recycling stations nearby have a small entrance booth and a drive-up layout, so expect to pull in, show ID if required, and then follow signs to the collection areas. Typical materials accepted at centers like this include paper and cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals; many centers also run seasonal or special programs for electronics, tires, or bulky items. The site is usually a mix of roll-off containers and covered bins, with room to back a truck up to a container for easy emptying. Weekends and spring-cleanup days tend to be busiest, so lines and a bit of waiting are common.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into paper/cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals before getting on site to speed up drop-off.
  • Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads and have someone steady heavy items when backing up to a container; the ground can be gravel and a little uneven.
  • Avoid peak weekend times if possible; weekday mornings often clear faster and make maneuvering easier.
