Recycling in Wellford: A Local Guide
Wellford is a small city in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and it is home to two recycling facilities that serve very different audiences — one is Spartanburg County's flagship public landfill and recycling drop-off site, and the other is a commercial-only recyclables processor.
Wellford Landfill & Spartanburg County Recycling Collection Center at 595 Little Mountain Road is the county's primary solid-waste facility and the only site in the Spartanburg County system that accepts tires (up to 5 free per household) and yard debris (limbs 6 feet or shorter). It also accepts household electronics — TVs, computers, monitors, and printers — free for county residents. Standard recyclables accepted include paper, cardboard, cartons, plastic bottles (#1–#7), aluminum and steel cans, antifreeze, cooking oil, motor oil, lead-acid batteries, and paint (via an exchange table). The landfill is open Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and closed Sundays and county holidays. Services are for Spartanburg County residents; commercial disposal at the landfill scales is subject to per-ton tipping fees.
Recycle 1 – South Carolina at 350 Innovation Way is a contracted commercial recyclables processor — not a public drop-off center. It serves businesses (distribution centers, manufacturers, retailers, and printers) with customized programs for paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal recycling, along with waste audits, equipment supply, and monthly reporting. Residents cannot use this facility; businesses should call (864) 949-5000 Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, to request a quote or service agreement.
