Newberry County Transfer Station at 11374 Highway 34 is the county-operated municipal solid-waste transfer facility managed by Newberry County Public Works. It accepts household solid waste, construction and demolition debris ($73/ton), scrap tires ($150/ton, weighed on the on-site scale, weekdays only), wood waste, and yard debris for mulching. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–4 PM and Saturday 8 AM–noon; tires are taken Monday–Friday only. Call (803) 276-7416 for current rules before hauling commercial loads.
Prosperity Metal Recycling Yard at 2304 Adelaide Street is a private scrap metal yard open to residential and commercial customers — no appointment required. It pays cash by the pound for aluminum (including cans and rims), copper (including insulated wire), red and yellow brass, clean stainless steel, radiators, batteries, and motors. The yard also provides free junk-vehicle pickup and offers dumpster rental, hauling, building demolition, and land clearing. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–noon; Saturday staffing can be inconsistent, so calling (803) 276-1115 ahead is advisable.
