When you visit a Colleton County Recycling/Convenience Center, you have the perfect opportunity to reduce the amount of trash that goes to the landfill. Separating the recyclables is a great way to start. Repurposing or donating is another great way to keep items out of the land fill. To help Colleton County residents with recycling, the county has 15 Recycling/Convenience Centers.
Residents may open an account at the landfill by providing a driver's license and mailing address. Commercial accounts may be opened by providing the firm information. In either case all waste for disposal must be waste generated in Colleton County, and there must be no current amount due when the account is opened.
