Recycling in Eastover: A Local Guide
Eastover is a small town in Richland County, South Carolina, roughly 15 miles southeast of Columbia. Two waste-management facilities serve the area: a free public drop-off center operated by Richland County and a commercial sanitary landfill run by Republic Services.
Richland County Recycling Center (Lower Richland Drop-Off Center) at 10531 Garners Ferry Road is Richland County's free public facility for residents. It accepts construction and demolition debris (brick, concrete, lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, windows), scrap metal, e-waste (TVs, computers, phones — up to 5 items), automobile tires (up to 5), latex paint (up to 5 gallons), fluorescent and CFL bulbs, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, and lead-acid batteries. Household garbage, commercial waste, curbside recyclables (cans, cardboard, glass, plastics), asbestos, and trailers over 8 feet are not accepted. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM; free for Richland County residents; no appointment needed.
Republic Services Northeast Sanitary Landfill at 1581 Westvaco Road is a permitted commercial landfill accepting municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, contaminated soil, dry industrial waste, ash, waste carpet, and asbestos from contracted haulers and municipal customers. It is not a general public drop-off: it primarily serves Republic Services' fleet and contracted accounts. Tipping fees apply; rates are available by calling (803) 353-0563. Operating hours are Monday through Friday 5:00 AM–3:30 PM and Saturday 5:00 AM–12:00 PM.
