About this center

Recycling Express has operated in Florence since 1990 as a family-owned business. The Dixie Highway site is its residential location, and a separate commercial yard sits on Industrial Road. The company pays cash for metal from residential and commercial accounts, and it handles paper, plastics, and pallets alongside. Commercial and industrial customers start with a waste audit that sorts what a company throws away into categories and volumes, then move to a custom zero-waste program covering paper, plastic, and metal. The pallet operation sells new, used, and remanufactured pallets plus custom-built pallets and crates.
