About This Location

The Piedmont Residential Waste and Recycling Center, operated by the Greenville County Solid Waste Division at 225 Owens Rd., Piedmont, SC 29673, is one of the county's staffed convenience centers serving Greenville County residents. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and is closed Sunday and Monday. The center accepts household trash, curbside-style recyclables (plastic bottles and jugs, aluminum and steel cans, cardboard, mixed paper, and food/beverage cartons), scrap metal and white goods, passenger-vehicle tires, yard debris, lead-acid batteries, used motor oil and filters, latex paint (solidified), and light bulbs — all free for eligible residents. One important location-specific rule: electronics (e-waste) are NOT accepted at this Piedmont site, unlike most other county centers. Admission requires proof of Greenville County residence, and disposal is capped at three cubic yards per vehicle per day. Businesses and commercial haulers must use the Twin Chimneys Landfill.
