Recycle – Reuse – Renew

Dillon County is working hard to recycle solid waste. Recycling this waste saves landfill space, conserves our natural resources, saves energy, preserves clean air and water, and can save money and create jobs.

  • Paper and cardboard together make up 73% of the materials in landfills.
  • About 40% of household garbage contains paper products that can be recycled.
  • Recycling has a great potential to stimulate our local economy.
  • Recycling generates revenues through the sales of the collected materials.
  • Recycling also saves taxpayers money because it eliminates handling costs that would have been associated with those materials.

Recycling in Dillon County has the potential to reduce solid waste cost by thousands of dollars. Choices made by you today can preserve the tomorrow of Dillon County!
