Metal | Solid Waste Division

Scrap metal and metal containers are also readily recyclable in Greenville County.

Metal containers, including aluminum cans, bi-metal cans (such as soup cans), and aerosol cans (such as shaving cream cans) can be recycled curbside. Scrap metal, including appliances that are commonly referred to as white goods, can be recycled as well but generally not with the metal containers.

Metal containers are accepted in all Greenville County dropoff locations and at all convenience centers. Scrap metal is accepted at convenience centers but not at dropoff centers.

All municipal programs, with the exception of Greer who only accepts aluminum cans, accept metal containers. However, the different municipalities handle collection of scrap metal in various manners. Thus, it is best to contact your municipal collector prior to attempting to recycle scrap metal with them.
