DCC Metal Recycling (DCC), a metal shredding and recycling company, announced it is growing its South Carolina footprint with a new operation in Dillon County. The company's $11 million investment will create 78 new jobs.
The new 48-acre site located at 1324 Smith St. in Dillon will be the company's seventh South Carolina operation. DCC was founded in Hemingway in 1943.
The company purchases, shreds and recycles scrap metals. This process significantly reduces the cost and environmental impact of the company's products which include aluminum, stainless steel and copper. Operations are expected to be online in the first quarter of 2025.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.

Our new operation will be providing excellent job opportunities as well as the purchasing of metal recyclables from area scrap dealers and the general public. The company is expanding its South Carolina operations into this region resulting in local economic development.

We thank the Dillon government officials and the South Carolina Department of Commerce for their help in creating this economic opportunity for us and the community.”-DCC Metal Recycling President and CEO Donald R. Brewer Jr.
