City collection Furniture is named on the city's bulk waste list, with one limit that matters: the handbook allows one room of furniture. A couch, sofa or dresser goes out on a scheduled bulk day rather than in the cart, and anything beyond a single room has to be cleared with the division when the pickup is booked. The city publishes no per item furniture charge and no bulky item rate at all, so confirm whether the load is inside the free service or carries a fee when you book it on 864-467-4345.
City collection A mattress or box spring is named on the city's bulk waste accepted list, so bedding comes off the curb on a booked bulk day rather than in the cart or in the recycling. The city publishes no mattress specific rule, so the set is booked and placed like the rest of the bulk load. The city publishes no mattress charge and no bulky item rate, so confirm the current terms when you book the pickup on 864-467-4345 or through Greenville Cares on 864-232-2273.
City collection Appliances are on the city's bulk waste accepted list, with two preparation steps attached: the doors come off and any Freon is removed. South Carolina also bans white goods from the landfill, which is why the county collects appliances separately at its residential centers and the Twin Chimneys Landfill rather than burying them. No appliance rate is published by the city or the county, so confirm the curbside terms on 864-467-4345 when you book and check any county gate charge before a self haul.
City collection Bulk waste covers anything that does not fit in the trash or recycling cart, and the city asks for a phone call rather than leaving it to the crew. A household calls the Solid Waste Division by 4 pm the day before its normal collection day, then puts the items at the curb by 7 am in an unobstructed spot away from parked cars, tree limbs, overhead wires and mailboxes. Neither the bulk waste page nor the handbook publishes a fee for a bulky item pickup, and the handbook says only that a household may purchase one additional trash or recycling cart without printing a price, so confirm the current terms with the Solid Waste Division on 864-467-4345 or Greenville Cares on 864-232-2273 when you schedule.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Greenville runs its own solid waste division inside the city limits, and the service is unusually complete: weekly garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulk waste, plus two recycling drop-off centers the city staffs itself. The one step that surprises people is bulk waste, because it is not automatic. A household calls the Solid Waste Division at 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before its normal collection day, schedules the pick, and has the items at the curb by 7 am in an unobstructed spot. The city's handbook then names what the bulk crew takes and what it does not, and mattresses, furniture limited to one room, appliances with the doors and Freon removed, lawn mowers with the fluids drained, grills with the tanks off, play sets and trampolines are all inside the accepted list. Two categories sit outside it and both have a local answer. Electronics are refused at the curb and go to the free spring and fall shredding and e-waste events the city runs at the Public Works campus, or year round to a Greenville County residential waste and recycling center. Construction material is refused at the curb and by the county centers, and shingles and demolition loads go to the Twin Chimneys Landfill.
Bulk waste covers anything that does not fit in the trash or recycling cart, and the city asks for a phone call rather than leaving it to the crew. A household calls the Solid Waste Division by 4 pm the day before its normal collection day, then puts the items at the curb by 7 am in an unobstructed spot away from parked cars, tree limbs, overhead wires and mailboxes.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the bulk waste page nor the handbook publishes a fee for a bulky item pickup, and the handbook says only that a household may purchase one additional trash or recycling cart without printing a price, so confirm the current terms with the Solid Waste Division on 864-467-4345 or Greenville Cares on 864-232-2273 when you schedule.
When & how
Call 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before your normal collection day to schedule the pickup, then have the load at the curb by 7 am on your collection day.
Get it ready
Stack the load at the curb in the open, clear of carts, mailboxes, poles, parked cars and low limbs, disassemble play sets, trampolines and plastic houses, drain every fluid and oil from a lawn mower, take the tank off a grill, and remove the doors and Freon from an appliance before it goes out.

A couch, sofa or dresser goes out on a scheduled bulk day rather than in the cart, and anything beyond a single room has to be cleared with the division when the pickup is booked.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item furniture charge and no bulky item rate at all, so confirm whether the load is inside the free service or carries a fee when you book it on 864-467-4345.
When & how
Book the pickup by 4 pm the day before your collection day, then have the furniture at the curb by 7 am.
Get it ready
Keep the load to one room of furniture, take the pieces apart where they come apart so the pile stays liftable, keep it clear of the carts and mailboxes, and offer anything usable for donation before it becomes bulk waste.
A mattress or box spring is named on the city's bulk waste accepted list, so bedding comes off the curb on a booked bulk day rather than in the cart or in the recycling. The city publishes no mattress specific rule, so the set is booked and placed like the rest of the bulk load.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress charge and no bulky item rate, so confirm the current terms when you book the pickup on 864-467-4345 or through Greenville Cares on 864-232-2273.
When & how
Book the pickup by 4 pm the day before your collection day and have the bedding at the curb by 7 am on the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry and flat, keep them clear of the carts and mailboxes, and keep bedding out of the recycling cart, which takes only the listed recyclables.
Appliances are on the city's bulk waste accepted list, with two preparation steps attached: the doors come off and any Freon is removed. South Carolina also bans white goods from the landfill, which is why the county collects appliances separately at its residential centers and the Twin Chimneys Landfill rather than burying them.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance rate is published by the city or the county, so confirm the curbside terms on 864-467-4345 when you book and check any county gate charge before a self haul.
When & how
A curbside appliance rides a scheduled bulk day with the load at the curb by 7 am. The county residential centers take white goods Tuesday to Saturday from 7 am to 6 pm with proof of residence.
Get it ready
Remove the appliance doors and have the Freon removed before the unit leaves the house, empty the unit, secure the drum and door, and keep appliances out of the recycling cart and out of the landfill stream, where state law bans them.
Electronics are refused in the city's bulk waste collection and named in that refusal, so a television or computer never goes to the curb. The city runs free shredding and e-waste events in the spring and fall at the Public Works campus, and Greenville County takes intact electronics all year at its residential centers, with a strict limit of 10 electronic items per person at the city events.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Greenville residents at the spring and fall shredding and e-waste events at the Public Works campus on 475 Fairforest Way, which the handbook describes as free, with a strict limit of 10 electronic items and three bags or small boxes of paper per person.
When & how
The city events run in the spring and fall with dates published by the city, and the county centers take intact e-waste Tuesday to Saturday from 7 am to 6 pm. Dismantled electronics and televisions with broken cathode tubes are accepted only at the Twin Chimneys Landfill.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data before a device leaves the house, keep cords and power supplies with their device, bag or box any paper for shredding within the published limit, and keep electronics out of the recycling cart, the bulk pile and, if they are dismantled or have a broken tube, out of the residential centers.
Construction material is refused twice. The city's bulk waste page names wood pallets, lumber, brick, block, concrete, fencing, decking and shingles as not accepted, and the county residential centers take residential waste only, with no construction debris and a three cubic yard daily limit. Shingles in particular have to go to the Twin Chimneys Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes its residential disposal rates in a separate rate sheet, and the city publishes no construction service at all, so confirm the gate charge with Greenville County before hauling a load to Twin Chimneys.
When & how
Twin Chimneys Landfill at 11075 Augusta Road in Honea Path is open 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday and 8 am to 4 pm Saturday, with proof of residence required for admittance.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the bulk pile, out of the garbage cart and out of the recycling cart, because both the city and the county refuse it, and keep demolition material separate from household waste so the residential allowance is not used up by a mixed load.
The city's published accepted list does not name an exercise machine. A treadmill or weight machine is the kind of item that does not fit in a cart, but the city's accepted list names mattresses, furniture, appliances, play sets, trampolines, lawn mowers and grills without mentioning one, so the machine has to be cleared with the division before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
There is no published exercise equipment rule and no bulky item rate, so call the Solid Waste Division on 864-467-4345 with the size of the machine and confirm whether it is collected and what it costs.
When & how
If the division confirms it, book the pickup by 4 pm the day before your collection day and have the machine at the curb by 7 am.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart, tie the parts into one liftable pile, remove the console and any battery, and keep the pile clear of the carts, mailboxes and parked cars.
Tires cannot go to the curb or into the landfill, because South Carolina bans them from landfill disposal along with motor oil, car batteries, yard waste, white goods and electronics. Greenville County collects tires separately at the residential waste and recycling centers and at the Twin Chimneys Landfill, so the route is a county facility rather than the city collection.
City cost & eligibility
The county does not publish a tire charge, so confirm the current fee and any per tire limit with the county before loading.
When & how
The county residential centers take tires Tuesday to Saturday from 7 am to 6 pm with proof of residence and a three cubic yard daily limit, and Twin Chimneys Landfill is open 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday and 8 am to 4 pm Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the bulk pile and out of any load bound for the landfill, and confirm the per load and per tire limits with the county first because a mixed load still counts against the residential daily allowance.
The city and the county each take part of this stream. The city's two recycling drop-off centers list usable latex paint and Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries among their accepted material, and the county routes used motor oil to any staffed residential center or a local automotive retailer. Everything more aggressive than that is refused: Greenville County states plainly that it does not accept hazardous or liquid waste at its residential centers.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for the paint, battery and oil streams at either level of government, and the county answers hazardous material questions on the number it prints as 243.9672 on its disposal services page, so confirm the current terms before you load.
When & how
The city recycling drop-offs at 800 E Stone Avenue and 514 Rutherford Road are open 7 am to 5:30 pm daily, and the county residential centers run 7 am to 6 pm Tuesday to Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep paint cans closed and identifiable, never mix different products, confirm whether the latex paint is still usable before taking it to a recycling drop-off, dry out what is not, keep motor oil separate and pour it only into the collection tank, and never pour oil on the ground, into a sewer drain or into surface or ground water, which is illegal in South Carolina.
Each household gets one 96 gallon trash cart and one 96 gallon recycling cart at no cost, and only city-issued carts are serviced. Trash should be bagged and tied before it goes in, the cart goes to the curb by 7 am with the handles facing the house and the lid completely closed, and nothing may sit on top of or beside the cart. Leave three feet between the cart and obstacles such as mailboxes, poles and parked cars, and bring the cart back in within 24 hours, which the city ordinance requires.
There is no collection on New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. When a collection day falls on one of those holidays the pickup moves to the following day, and the rest of that week runs one day late as well.
Bulk waste is the one city service that is booked rather than automatic. Call the Solid Waste Division at 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before your normal collection day, then set the load at the curb by 7 am in an unobstructed area that is away from parked cars, tree limbs, overhead wires and mailboxes. Keep the pile out of the street and away from the carts so the crew can reach both.
Yard waste is collected weekly on the normal collection day and does not need a call. Limbs, branches, trimmings and sticks go loose in a pile and may be no longer than 6 feet and no more than 6 inches in diameter, while grass clippings and leaves go loose in a separate pile because bagged grass and leaves are not collected. Do not mix limbs with grass and leaves, and do not mix yard waste with household trash, construction material, soil or mulch. Keep the piles off the sidewalk and away from drainage grates, storm drains, mailboxes, poles, fences, low limbs, power lines and carts.
Rinse the residue out and place recyclables directly in the blue cart with no bagging at all. The city takes plastics 1 through 7, paper and cardboard without shredded paper, steel and aluminium cans, motor oil, filters and bottles, cooking oil, usable latex paint and Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. Glass, plastic bags, lightbulbs, soiled food containers, diapers, Styrofoam, clothes and shoes, toys, cords and string lights, wood and yard debris and water hoses are all refused.
Electronics route through the city events or the county
Electronics are refused in the city bulk collection, so a television or computer leaves the house through one of two routes. The city holds free shredding and e-waste events in the spring and fall at the Public Works campus on 475 Fairforest Way, where electronic drop-offs are capped at 10 items per person and paper is capped at three large trash bags or three small boxes. Greenville County takes intact e-waste all year at its residential centers except Piedmont and Echo Valley, for residential generation only, and dismantled units or televisions with broken cathode tubes go only to the Twin Chimneys Landfill, because South Carolina has banned electronics from landfill disposal since July 1, 2011.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How do I schedule a bulk waste pickup in Greenville?+
Call the city Solid Waste Division at 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before your normal collection day. Bulk waste covers items that do not fit in the trash or recycling cart, and the items go to the curb by 7 am on the collection day in an unobstructed area away from parked cars, tree limbs, overhead wires and mailboxes.Official guidance
Will Greenville pick up a couch at the curb?+
Yes, on a scheduled bulk waste day. Furniture is named on the city's bulk list, with a limit of one room of furniture, and the pickup is arranged by calling the Solid Waste Division at 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before the normal collection day. The couch goes to the curb by 7 am, clear of carts, mailboxes and parked cars.Official guidance
Will Greenville take a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. Mattresses and box springs are named on the city's bulk waste accepted list, so they are collected on a scheduled bulk day. Call the Solid Waste Division at 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before your normal collection day and have the bedding at the curb by 7 am.Official guidance
What has to happen before a refrigerator goes out in Greenville?+
The doors come off and the Freon is removed. Appliances are named on the city's bulk waste accepted list with that preparation step, and the pickup is booked by calling 864-467-4345 by 4 pm the day before your collection day. White goods are also banned from the county landfill by state law, so the county collects appliances separately at its residential centers and the landfill.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Greenville?+
The City of Greenville Solid Waste Division runs weekly garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulk waste collection for addresses inside the city limits, from the Public Works campus at 475 Fairforest Way, with the division on 864-467-4345 and Greenville Cares on 864-232-2273. The city states that its services are for City of Greenville customers only, and it lists the neighbouring city haulers, the Greater Greenville Sanitation Service District and the Greenville County Solid Waste Division for addresses outside the city.Official guidance
What does a large item pickup cost in Greenville?+
The city publishes no bulky item rate, and the handbook goes no further than saying a household may purchase one additional trash or recycling cart, so the cost of a bulk pickup is confirmed when it is booked on 864-467-4345. The city's electronics events are described as free, and the county publishes its own residential disposal rates separately, so a self haul load is priced by the county rather than by the city.Official guidance
Where can I drop things off instead of waiting for a pickup?+
The city staffs two recycling drop-offs, the Stone Avenue Recycling Center at 800 E Stone Avenue and the site at 514 Rutherford Road, both open 7 am to 5:30 pm daily for plastics 1 through 7, paper and cardboard, cans, motor oil, cooking oil, usable latex paint and Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. Greenville County runs seven residential waste and recycling centers open 7 am to 6 pm Tuesday to Saturday with proof of residence and a three cubic yard daily limit, and the closest to the city is the Blackberry Valley center at 409 Blackberry Valley Road.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day in Greenville?+
Yes. There is no collection on New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. When a collection day falls on one of those holidays the pickup moves to the following day, and the rest of that week is one day late as well, which applies to the bulk and yard waste trucks along with the carts.Official guidance
How much furniture counts as one bulk pickup?+
The city's bulk waste list names furniture and limits it to one room of furniture. Anything past a single room should be discussed when the pickup is booked on 864-467-4345, because the allowance is part of the published bulk waste guidelines rather than a per item limit.Official guidance
