Honea Path Community residents are asked to recycle and transport the appropriate recycle materials to the Town Recycle Center located on Black Street (between Burger King and Bi-lo and across the street from the BHPW Head Start

Facility). Recycling is a necessary part of our lives so let's all strive to be "recyclers" to preserve the future.  Our appreciation to Anderson County for their assistance in helping the Town establish this Recycle Center.
