Florence County Recycling Centers

Electronics RecyclingIt’s now the law to recycle electronics in South Carolina. Residents may not place a computer, computer monitor, printer or television in the garbage. Additionally, these electronics MAY NOT be taken apart for the purpose of recycling except by certified recyclers

Although Florence County accepts household electronics at some of its recycling centers, help keep costs down by recycling them in local “take back” programs. Many manufacturers and retailers offer consumer recycling options. For information on these programs, visit www.scdhec.gov/HomeAndEnvironment/Recycling/Electronics/RecyclingPrograms/.
