Recycling in Greenville: A Local Guide
Greenville, South Carolina has two distinct recycling systems serving its residents: the City of Greenville's own drop-off facility and several Greenville County residential waste centers. Understanding which one to use — and what each takes — makes a real difference when you're trying to get rid of electronics, glass, or tires.
The Stone Avenue Recycling Center at 800 E Stone Ave is operated by the City of Greenville and open every day of the week, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. It is the broadest-access option: free, no residency check required, and accepting electronics (banned from South Carolina landfills), vehicle tires (up to two, no rims), glass, plastics #1–#7, cardboard, mixed paper, aluminum and steel cans, and milk and juice cartons. If you have a CRT TV or an old laptop, this is where to bring it.
The Blackberry Valley Residential Waste and Recycling Center at 409 Blackberry Valley Rd serves the western part of the county, open Tuesday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This is a Greenville County–operated site, meaning proof of county residence is required at the gate and there is a three cubic yard per vehicle daily limit. It handles standard recyclables plus general household solid waste, and it is one of the county drop-off points for the Green Energy Biofuel used cooking oil program. Commercial loads are not accepted.
The Clyde Spearman Recycling Center at 115 Spearman Cir (ZIP 29611) operates Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Local residents flag it as one of the few spots in the Greenville area that specifically accepts brown and clear glass bottles and jars — a material excluded from most curbside programs and not prominently listed at county sites. It is a community drop-off without a residency gate.
For material-specific recycling elsewhere in South Carolina, the South Carolina recycling directory covers facilities statewide. Nearby cities with additional options include Spartanburg, Anderson, Columbia, and Rock Hill.

Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Greenville
Where can I recycle glass in Greenville, SC?
Two sites accept glass: Stone Avenue Recycling Center (800 E Stone Ave, open 7 days 7 AM–5:30 PM) and Clyde Spearman Recycling Center (115 Spearman Cir, Mon–Sat 8 AM–6 PM), which is specifically noted for accepting brown and clear glass bottles. Most Greenville curbside programs do not collect glass.
Do I need to be a Greenville County resident to use the recycling centers?
Blackberry Valley and other county-operated residential waste centers require proof of Greenville County residence and enforce a 3-cubic-yard-per-vehicle daily limit. The city-run Stone Avenue drop-off and Clyde Spearman do not appear to require residency verification.
Where can I recycle electronics (e-waste) in Greenville, SC?
The Stone Avenue Recycling Center accepts electronics free of charge. South Carolina law bans e-waste from landfills, so this is the proper disposal channel for old TVs, computers, and other electronics. The City also holds spring and fall shredding and e-waste events at the Public Works Campus; check greenvillesc.gov for dates.
Can I drop off tires in Greenville?
Yes — the Stone Avenue Recycling Center accepts up to two vehicle tires per visit at no charge, provided the tires have no rims attached and are not from heavy equipment. Tire drop-off is not listed at the county residential centers.
