Recycling in Awendaw: A Local Guide
Awendaw is a small town in northern Charleston County, SC, along US Highway 17. Two facilities on or near Maxville Road and N. Hwy 17 handle recycling and waste diversion — one a full county convenience center for residents and the other a commercial wood-waste processor serving businesses across the region.
The Charleston County Recycling and Convenience Center at 6380 Maxville Road is the primary public drop-off option for Charleston County residents. It is staffed and open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and Wednesday and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The site accepts single-stream recyclables, household garbage, yard debris, scrap metal and appliances, household hazardous waste (paint, pesticides), electronics (TVs, computers, monitors, printers), motor oil, batteries, light bulbs, and up to four passenger tires per visit (first five tires free; quantities over five charged at $90/ton). Proof of Charleston County residency with a government-issued photo ID is required; gasoline is not accepted here and must go to the Bees Ferry Road location.
South Carolina Wood Waste Management at 6245 N. Hwy 17 is a commercial, business-to-business wood-waste processor — not a public drop-off. It accepts wooden pallets, crates, scrap wood, and green waste (leaves, grass clippings, sod, and small branches) from landscapers, tree companies, golf courses, and developers within roughly 100 miles of Charleston, grinding and composting the material into colored mulch and planting mix. Service is by scheduled pickup or arranged delivery; call (843) 343-8267 or use the online scheduling form to confirm availability and service area.
