Get Directions

Queen Chapel Road Recycling is the recycling center on Queen Chapel Road in Sumter, used by local residents dropping off household recyclables and small loads. Lots of people from nearby neighborhoods and county convenience centers stop through when cleaning out garages or handling yard cleanup. The site focuses on diverting common materials from the landfill and runs programs for bulky or special items at times.

Drive in off Queen Chapel Road to a single entrance area with a small booth and some directional signs; the booth is the first thing that catches the eye. Bins and containers for paper, cardboard, plastics and metals sit a short distance past the entrance, while larger roll-offs or sections for bulk items are set back further. Expect to pull up, unload onto the ground or into a container, and then move on so the next vehicle can use the space; traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup or after storms. The whole place looks like a working yard - concrete pads, gravel drives and stacked containers rather than a landscaped parking lot.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into paper/cardboard, plastics/metals, and mixed debris so unloading at the site goes quicker and keeps traffic moving.
  • Bring gloves, closed-toe shoes and a tarp for loose material in a truck bed; it’s a fairly rough, dusty surface and items can shift.
  • Avoid weekends and immediate post-storm days if possible - those times are noticeably busier and lines can form back onto the road.
