Recycling Open Hour

This event is open to all Charleston County residents – come learn about where your recycling goes and how we recycle. This event also features FREE document shredding, and residents will receive a FREE tote bag if they bring in a plastic bag.

This event does not require registration.

In December 2020, Charleston opened a new 82,000 square feet Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The building includes a multimedia education center, new recycling equipment, and administrative offices. It has the capacity to process 25 tons of recyclables per hour.
