The purpose of this Guide is to supply recycling opportunities to all Richland County residents. There may also be additional recycling programs, collection points, or other collection systems located outside of Richland County in surrounding communities.
One opportunity for Richland County residents to recycle is by contacting local waste haulers who may provide a curbside recycling program.
