For all of the reviews saying we close at random times and without warning, I will say Clemson's website is atrocious. We do not have the ability to change it on our own when needed. We close only when absolutely necessary for equipment failures (sorry those do occur randomly) and for safety during football season Friday before home games and Monday after home games. Students will drive far too fast in our drop off area and have caused safety issues in the past. For anything else sorry there are only 5 of us working our butts off everyday going through thousands of pounds of material. You want us to be open more often then come and volunteer.
Also with the city of Clemson ending their recycling pick up please realize the volume of material kite Hill receives is about 3-4x what it used to receive.
They shortened their hours without warning. They also randomly close without warning. It has caused me to take several trips there for no reason. It’s a great place for recycling but it defeats its own purpose if it is never open. They need to extend their hours later in the afternoon.
More materials accepted than what the rest of the county offers (particularly #5 plastic + compost), but plenty of room for improvement. Recommend visiting in person the first time to become acquainted and see what specifically is and is not accepted... not all information online from University Facilities is accurate (as of this post), e.g. not every type/kind of plastic is accepted that the website suggests. Be aware of closures on Mon and Fri around home games during football season.
Closed randomly with no warning. Not worth the waste of time or waste of gas. First they shortened the hours, then they close whenever they feel like it. Wish I could do that with MY job.
