Lee County Recyling Center
Recycling Center in Bishopville, South Carolina
About This Location
The Lee County Recycling Center – Ashwood Site, at 58 Ashwood School Road in Bishopville, South Carolina, is one of the county's staffed ('manned') recycling and convenience sites operated by Lee County Public Works. Residents can drop off 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, and yard trimmings. The site is open five days a week on the standard county schedule and is closed Tuesday and Thursday. Lee County has suspended plastic recycling county-wide because of disposal costs, so plastic now goes in the household-trash compactors on site rather than being recycled. Tires and household electronics are not taken at Ashwood — those are accepted only on Saturdays at the Public Works (116 Airport Road) and Bradley Road (249 Bradley Road) sites. The Ashwood site serves Lee County residents only.
