Other notes
- Listed as a recycling center by the county, but it also takes bagged household trash for a per-bag fee, so it is treated here as a full drop-off.
- This is the only Cherokee County site for paid items: bagged household trash, appliances, batteries, flat-screen TVs and monitors, mattresses, paint, bagged foam, plastic play sets and all electronics except tube TVs and CRT monitors. All metal accepted; unlisted metal items are priced on sight.
- Recyclables must arrive in a container (staff will not unload loose material) and all cardboard must be flattened. Plastics 1 and 2 only. Glass must be clean food-grade glass.
- Payment by card or check only, no cash ($1 transaction fee up to $50, 3% above $50).
- Not accepted: tube or projection TVs, light bulbs, mirrors, loose foam, unbagged trash, wood or plastic furniture (metal-only furniture is OK), plastic film and bags, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, construction waste, unbagged vegetation, and loads larger than a pickup bed or SUV.
