Adams Scrap Recycling Public Hearing

Adams Scrap Recycling LLC has applied to the Department for a state air construction permit to authorize construction and operation of metal shredding equipment and associated control devices. Adams Scrap Recycling LLC is a recycler of metals and other materials such as glass, paper, plastics, and electronics. This project is for the installation of several pieces of equipment for auto and metal scrap shredding, including a stationary 10‑ton‑per‑hour (tph) shredder, a stationary 3‑tph vertical mill granulator, a mobile 25‑tph shredder, and a mobile 30‑tph shredder.

SCDES will hold a public hearing on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 6:00 P.M. to accept written and verbal comments on the proposed project. The hearing will be held at West Greenville Community Center (8 Rochester St.). Doors will open at 5:30 P.M. to facilitate the sign-in process and provide an opportunity to meet SCDES staff.

The public hearing is formal and provides an opportunity to make oral comments that will be heard by SCDES staff and recorded by a court reporter. There will be no questions and answers during the public hearing. SCDES values each participant’s involvement in the public hearing and will conduct it in a respectful, orderly manner with reasonable limits on the length of comments, if necessary.

Individuals with disabilities who wish to participate in the hearing or review the proceedings should contact Monica Taylor at 803-898-7678, or by email at Monica.Taylor@des.sc.gov as soon as possible prior to the hearing to discuss any auxiliary aids or services needed.
