(Richland PIO) – Changes going into effect Monday, Sept. 9 at two Richland County drop-off facilities aim to reduce confusion for residents, make service more efficient, and account for population growth and increased traffic.
The changes affect operating hours for the Clemson Road Recycling Site, at 900 Clemson Road, Columbia, and the Lower Richland Drop-off Center, at 10531 Garners Ferry Road, Eastover. Beginning next week, both sites will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday.
Staff with Richland County Solid Waste & Recycling reviewed daily and hourly car counts at both sites to determine the most efficient and user-friendly schedule for residents, while also allocating County staff and resources effectively.
Hours at the County’s C&D Landfill Drop-off Center, at 1070 Caughman Road N., Columbia, remain unchanged. The landfill is open 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays.
