Recycling in Bishopville: A Local Guide
Bishopville is the county seat of Lee County in central South Carolina. Two solid-waste facilities serve the area: one is a county-operated drop-off site for residents, and the other is a commercial landfill for contracted haulers. Knowing which one matches your need will save you a wasted trip.
The Lee County Recycling Center — Ashwood Site, at 58 Ashwood School Road, is a staffed Lee County Public Works convenience site open to Lee County residents at no charge. It accepts aluminum and steel cans, mixed paper, used motor oil with filters and bottles, cooking oil, farmer oil (up to 55 gallons), large appliances, lead-acid batteries, yard trimmings, and bagged household garbage. Plastic recycling is currently suspended county-wide; plastics go in the on-site compactors. Note that tires and electronics are not taken here — those go to the Public Works facility (116 Airport Road) or the Bradley Road site on Saturdays only. Hours: Mon 7 AM–12 PM, Wed 7 AM–3 PM, Fri 11 AM–6 PM, Sat 8 AM–6 PM, Sun 1–6 PM; closed Tue & Thu.

Landfill hours are Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM; closed weekends. Fees are weight-based; call (800) 327-4562 to confirm rates before bringing a load.
