The Greenwood County Recycling office is listed at 1119 Siloam Church Road, Greenwood, SC 29646. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00am-3:30pm. For many residents, the actual public drop-off need is a Greenwood County convenience center, not the office desk.
The most useful public-hours note is that Siloam Church Road is listed open Monday-Friday 7:00am-6:00pm, Saturday 8:00am-6:00pm and Sunday 1:00pm-5:00pm. Other convenience centers have different schedules, so do not assume every Greenwood site is open every weekday.

Greenwood Recycling Center Overview
A search for Greenwood recycling center can mean three different services in Greenwood County: the Recycling office and Material Recovery Facility, the blue roll cart curbside program, or one of the county convenience centers. Treating them as the same thing causes wrong-day trips and rejected items.
Greenwood County Recycling operates a voluntary curbside residential recycling collection program and a Material Recovery Facility where recycled waste streams are separated by type and prepared for sale to the recycling industry. The county also provides recycling containers at its convenience centers.
The county does not pay residents or businesses for recyclables delivered to the convenience centers or recycling center, does not provide containers outside collection areas, and does not accept recyclables that are not included in the approved list.

Greenwood Recycling Pickup Calendar and Blue Roll Cart Help
Greenwood County Recycling provides a voluntary curbside residential recycling collection program serving designated areas. Residents in covered areas typically use blue roll carts and should receive route information when the cart is delivered.
If you are unsure whether you are on a recycling route, the county says you will usually see blue roll carts set out every other week in your neighborhood. If not, contact Recycling at 864-942-8567 and leave your name and phone number if staff are unavailable.
To prepare recyclables for the blue roll cart, rinse containers, flatten cardboard boxes and leave labels on. Labels do not need to be removed. Do not bag recyclables in plastic grocery bags.
Accepted Items in Greenwood Blue Roll Carts
Greenwood County lists the following materials as accepted for the blue roll cart. Keep items clean enough for recycling, flatten cardboard boxes and avoid adding items that are specifically banned from the cart.
| Accepted Category | Examples | Preparation Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Paper | Newspaper, office paper, computer paper and colored paper. | Keep paper dry and loose in the cart. |
| Cardboard and paperboard | Cardboard, chipboard and paperboard cans. | Flatten boxes to save space. |
| Books and mail | Magazines, phone books, catalogs, books and junk mail. | Remove obvious trash or food contamination. |
| Plastic containers | Plastic #1 through #7. | Rinse containers before placing in the cart. |
| Metal cans | Aluminum cans and steel cans. | Rinse food residue when possible. |
| Cartons and boxes | Juice boxes, milk cartons and broth soup boxes. | Empty first; do not include liquid. |
Items Not Accepted in Greenwood Blue Roll Carts
Not everything recyclable-looking belongs in the blue roll cart. Greenwood County specifically lists several items as unacceptable. Keeping these out protects workers, keeps the route cleaner and helps avoid contamination.
Electronics Recycling in Greenwood County
Greenwood County notes that e-waste, including computers, monitors and printers, can be taken to all convenience centers. South Carolina’s electronics landfill ban also means residents should not knowingly discard covered electronics such as computers, monitors, printers and televisions into a landfill waste stream.
Before bringing computers, laptops, tablets, phones or storage devices, erase personal data, remove memory cards, sign out of accounts and back up anything important. A drop-off center manages the material stream; it does not guarantee your personal privacy.
Free Paper Shredding in Greenwood
Greenwood County lists free shredding for unwanted papers and documents. Shredding hours are posted as Monday through Friday, 7:00am until 3:00pm. For more information, call 864-942-8567, 864-942-8754 or 864-942-8662.
Do not mix shredded paper into the wrong recycling container unless county staff confirms it. If you have a large amount of sensitive documents, call first so staff can confirm the best time, location and handling instructions.
Businesses, Recyclables and Payments
Greenwood County Recycling accepts recyclable materials from citizens and businesses within Greenwood County, but it does not pay anyone for recyclables delivered to the convenience centers or recycling center. Businesses should confirm accepted materials before delivering a load.
If your business has large volumes, unusual packaging, electronics, commercial waste, confidential documents or mixed materials, do not guess. Call first and ask whether the load belongs at the recycling office, a convenience center, landfill, shredding route or another approved disposal option.
