Curbside Recycling

Additionally, the following six incorporated municipalities and one service district provide curbside recycling collection to 50 percent of the County's residents:

Fountain Inn

In addition to these organizations, several private haulers also offer curbside recycling services for a fee. Consult your local phone book under "Garbage Collection" and "Recycling Centers" to locate organizations that offer curbside collection of recyclables. Or, if you currently have curbside recycling and are not sure who is your waste hauler, refer to the name on your recycling bin and contact them with questions and concerns.
