Winnsboro Recycling Center

1936 US-321, Winnsboro, SC 29180

(803) 635-6503

Small, practical recycling center off US-321 that locals use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Mainly used by residents hauling household loads and people dropping off sorted materials from yard or garage cleanups. It feels like the kind of place where neighbors swing by with a car or a small trailer.

Drive in and find a single entrance with a little attendant booth near the drive - plan to pull up slow so there’s room to sort and turn. The recycling bins and roll-offs sit out in the open, with paper and cardboard usually grouped together and separate containers for glass, plastics and metals. Loads are weighed at many centers of this type, so expect to stop twice if that’s the case and to wait during busy weekend and spring-cleanup times. The site is mostly pavement and gravel with clear sight lines, so backing a trailer in is doable but bring someone to spot if it’s crowded.

Before You Go

  • Sort items before getting out of the car: flatten boxes, separate paper from glass, and keep plastics and metals grouped to speed things along.
  • Bring gloves and a tarp for loose debris-wind can scatter light items and bins can be messy around the edges.
  • Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; midweek or early mornings usually move faster and make trailer maneuvering easier.
