South Carolina dump FAQ

How many landfills are in South Carolina?

Dumpmapper lists 25 landfills in South Carolina, in 21 of its 46 counties, plus 23 transfer stations, where you can usually drop off trash and bulky loads. The list comes from OpenStreetMap and the US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program database, so it can miss sites, especially private or construction-debris landfills.

Where can I take household hazardous waste in South Carolina?

We list 5 places in South Carolina that take household hazardous waste, motor oil or fluorescent bulbs, including Recycling drop-off (Coward) (Coward), River's Bridge County Convenience Site (Ehrhardt), and Solid Waste Convenience Center - Charity Church Site (Huger). Many counties also hold collection days a few times a year instead of running a permanent site, so check with your county's solid waste or public works office too.

Do dumps in South Carolina charge a fee?

Many do, and each site sets its own prices. Charges often depend on weight, load size or the type of item, and tires, mattresses and appliances commonly cost extra. In our South Carolina data, 0 listings are tagged in OpenStreetMap as charging a fee and 2 listings as free; the rest don't say. We don't publish prices we can't verify, so ask the site before you go. The dump cost calculator can help you estimate a load.

Can I use a dump in South Carolina if I'm not a resident?

It depends on the site. Some city- and county-run sites serve residents only or charge non-residents more, while many privately run landfills and transfer stations take anyone who pays. Check the site's rules before you go, and bring an ID or a utility bill in case they ask for proof of address.

How do I find the phone number or hours for a dump in South Carolina?

41 of the 132 listings in South Carolina have a phone number or website in our sources. We show it on the map popup, the county page and the listing page, and you can tap a phone number to call. For listings without one, use the Find phone & hours link: it opens a web search for the site's name and town. If you find the phone number or hours, send them to us and we'll add them after checking.

Which counties in South Carolina have the most dump and drop-off listings?

Spartanburg County (19), Horry County (18), and Greenville County (10) have the most listings. 34 of South Carolina's 46 counties have at least one listing; the pages for the rest point to the nearest sites in neighboring areas.

Where can I recycle paint and batteries in South Carolina?
