The City of Aiken picks up the following items for recycling on your garbage pick-up day: cardboard, paper, plastic bottles, aluminum, steel cans and glass.
These-items can be mingled together because the recycling facility in North Augusta separates them for us.
Please use the green recycling bins and place them at the curb, or, blue roll carts are available for larger quantities for serious recyclers. Please do not put recyclables in black bags because we cannot pick it up if we can't identify the contents.
The City also picks up tires, paint cans, car batteries and used motor oil on Fridays by appointment. Please call 803-642-7613 to schedule.
