Recycling in Duncan: A Local Guide
Duncan, a city in Spartanburg County in South Carolina's Upstate region, has two recycling-related businesses serving distinct waste streams. Neither handles curbside-type household recyclables (paper, plastics, glass); Spartanburg County residents needing those services can use the Berry's Pond Recycling Collection Center at 355 Tucapau Rd in Duncan.
A1 Transfer & Recycling Inc, at 220 E Victor Hill Rd, is a family-owned construction and demolition (C&D) recycling transfer station and dumpster rental company. The facility diverts roughly 80% of incoming C&D material from the landfill, processing wood, steel, concrete, gypsum, masonry, plaster, and asphalt. It is open Monday through Saturday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and serves residential and commercial customers across Greenville, Spartanburg, and Upstate South Carolina. Recycling services are tied to dumpster rental contracts rather than public walk-in drop-offs; call (864) 433-9425 for a free quote.
CRC Scrap Metal Recycling LLC, at 12881 E. Wade Hampton Blvd., has been buying scrap metal from the public since 2007. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday 8:00 AM–4:30 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–12:00 PM. CRC purchases a broad range of metals — aluminum (cans, sheet, wheels, wire, radiators), copper (#1/#2 tubing and wire), brass, stainless steel, lead, cast iron, and ferrous scrap including junk cars — and weighs ferrous loads on a 70-foot truck scale. There is no drop-off fee; CRC pays sellers at current commodity rates. Call (864) 801-1765 ext. 3 for retail pricing before your visit.
