Recycling Center
Solid Waste & Recycling Center
104 Simmonsville Rd, Bluffton, SC 29910
(843) 815-1520Small, functional spot in Bluffton for dropping off recyclables and keeping stuff out of the landfill. Locals, contractors with small loads, and people cleaning out garages use it more than casual curbside folks.
Drive in off Simmonsville Road and find a modest entrance with an attendant booth and a short drive to the recycling bays. Large roll-off containers and labeled bins sit to the right past the booth, with areas for cardboard, paper, glass, plastics and metal recycling. Loads are weighed at some county centers, so plan to stop at the scale on the way in and again when leaving if that’s the setup. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and after storms the place can be especially crowded with debris and contractors' trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort materials at home-cardboard flattened, paper loose in boxes, cans and bottles separated-so unloading is quicker and less messy.
- Bring gloves and a tarp for loose debris; trailers and pickup beds can be awkward to empty without something to grab or cover with.
- Avoid peak times if possible: weekday mornings or mid-afternoons tend to move faster than weekend or post-storm afternoons.
