Please consider submitting a recycling survey for your business! Any amounts recycled, re-used, composted or otherwise diverted help us to determine recycling rates and economy across not only Lexington County, but also the state of South Carolina! This is an annual survey to collect business recycling data anonymously to form the SC Solid Waste Management Annual Report. It is not mandatory for businesses to submit their data, but doing so helps provide a more accurate picture of recycling in our State and County.

**Due in Re-TRAC by November 1st if you prefer to enter your business information directly
