Recycling Restricted Due to Coronavirus

In order to continue efforts to protect the health and well-being of both citizens and staff, Oconee County Recycling Centers will no longer be accepting certain materials, including plastic, glass, paper products, or aluminum cans for recycling. This is a temporary measure. These items require manual sorting, and viruses may cling to surfaces for an extended period of time, putting staff at risk for exposure to COVID-19 or Coronavirus. The Recycling Centers will continue to accept regular household garbage, cardboard, scrap metal, and tires. Oconee County Recycling Centers will maintain customary hours of operation: Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Recycling Centers are closed Wednesdays and Sundays. Normal operations and the acceptance of plastic, glass, paper products, and aluminum cans will resume once the threat of the COVID-19 or Coronavirus has passed.
