Recycling in Little River: A Local Guide
Little River, a coastal community in northern Horry County, is served by two Horry County Solid Waste Authority (SWA) recycling convenience centers. Both facilities are staffed, free, and open to residents of the unincorporated areas of Horry County — residents of incorporated cities such as North Myrtle Beach are not eligible under County Ordinance #50-01.
The Horry County Recycling and Solid Waste Convenience Center (Site #18 – Brooksville), at 2493 Highway 111, accepts cardboard, glass bottles and jars, plastics #1–#7, aluminum and steel cans, mixed paper, all battery types, electronics (monitors, TVs, CPUs, printers), scrap metal, yard trimmings, and mattresses. It is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Sunday; closed every Tuesday and Thursday. Household hazardous waste, plastic bags, Styrofoam, and commercial waste are not accepted here.
The Horry County Solid Waste Authority Recycling Center on Highway 90 (across from North Myrtle Beach Middle School), at 764 SC-90, accepts the same core recyclables plus tires, textiles, cooking oil, used motor oil and oil filters, and yard waste. Hours run 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday (one hour later than the Brooksville site) and 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM Sunday; this location is closed on Wednesdays. Fluorescent bulbs, lithium batteries, and paint must go to the SWA HHW Facility at 1886 Hwy 90, Conway. Both sites share the same SWA phone number: (843) 347-1651.
