Couch & furniture removal in Mount Pleasant

City collection Household furniture is named twice in the Town's own material, once as part of the trash debris definition and once in the collectible list, so a couch leaves on the garbage day in the separate trash pile without an appointment. No per-piece furniture charge is published, because garbage and trash collection is part of the Town service the property already receives, so confirm the account terms with Public Services at 843-849-2022.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Mount Pleasant collects its own garbage and runs a second collection on the same day for what it calls trash, and that second pile is where most of a clean-out actually goes: bagged yard debris in brown paper bags, tree limbs, household appliances, metal items and household furniture. Everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, the piles must be separated because different trucks take different materials, and the town issues the only roll carts it will collect. What the town refuses is just as important: televisions, computers and other electronics cannot go in either pile because state rules keep them out of landfills, and they go to a Charleston County drop site or a big box store instead, while bricks, concrete, tree stumps and contractor debris stay with the contractor. Curbside recycling is not a town service at all, since Charleston County collects it every other week and runs the drop sites.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

A mattress is not named anywhere on the Town's collectible lists, which name appliances, metal items, household furniture and other non-food items that cannot be donated or recycled. Because the category is unnamed, the packet keeps the piece as a confirmation rather than promising the pickup.

City cost & eligibility
The Town publishes no mattress charge, and its service is included in the collection the property already receives, so confirm the piece with the Public Services Department at 843-849-2022 before the mattress goes to the curb.
When & how
Call 843-849-2022 to confirm the mattress, then put it in the trash pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, separated from the yard debris and from the recycling.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the roll cart, which takes household garbage, broken down cardboard and packaged medical waste only, and out of the yard debris pile, which is collected for composting and has to stay free of other material. Place it on the road by the curb rather than on the lawn, a manhole or a storm drain.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Household furniture is named twice in the Town's own material, once as part of the trash debris definition and once in the collectible list, so a couch leaves on the garbage day in the separate trash pile without an appointment.

City cost & eligibility
No per-piece furniture charge is published, because garbage and trash collection is part of the Town service the property already receives, so confirm the account terms with Public Services at 843-849-2022.
When & how
Set the furniture in the trash pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, on the road by the curb and not on the lawn, manholes or storm drains. The trash trucks run the same day as the garbage truck.
Get it ready
Keep the furniture in its own pile away from bagged yard debris, because the piles go to different places and the Town asks residents to separate them. Keep it clear of the roll cart and away from utilities without blocking the road, and consider donation first for a piece that is still usable.

Appliances and metal items

Accepted with preparation

Household appliances and metal items are named in the Town's trash pile, collected on the garbage day on the same route as the garbage truck. That makes an appliance one of the straightforward curbside items here.

City cost & eligibility
The Town publishes no appliance charge and the service sits inside the collection the property already receives, so confirm the unit and the account with Public Services at 843-849-2022. The only published cart price in the Town material is the second roll cart at $70.
When & how
Put the appliance in the trash pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, separated from yard debris and from recyclables, with the pile on the road by the curb rather than on the lawn.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the roll cart, which takes household garbage, cardboard and packaged medical waste only. Keep the appliance clear of utilities and out of the travel lane, and for a unit that holds refrigerant remove the doors, set the opening towards the ground and confirm the gas handling with Public Services at 843-849-2022.

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners

Special rules apply

A refrigerant appliance leaves in the same trash pile as the other appliances, and the Town publishes the set-out step for it: remove the doors and put the opening towards the ground when the unit goes out for pickup. The gas recovery and the charge stay unstated, so confirm both with Public Services at 843-849-2022.

City cost & eligibility
The Town publishes no charge for a refrigerant appliance and no gas recovery step, so confirm the unit, the account and the handling with Public Services at 843-849-2022 before the unit goes to the curb.
When & how
Put the unit in the trash pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, in the pile for furniture, metal and appliances rather than the bagged yard debris, with the doors removed and the opening towards the ground. Call 843-849-2022 to confirm the gas handling, the account and the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the roll cart and out of the yard debris pile. Remove the doors and set the opening towards the ground for the pickup, keep the pile clear of utilities and out of the road travel lane, and leave the refrigerant work to whoever accepts the unit because the Town publishes no gas recovery step.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Not on the regular city route

Electronics are refused at the Mount Pleasant curb. The Town states that environmental regulations prohibit televisions, computers and other electronic equipment from landfills and sends residents to Charleston County drop-off sites or big box electronic stores.

City cost & eligibility
The Town publishes no electronics fee and names the county drop sites and the retail stores without a price, and Charleston County's own pages could not be read in this run, so confirm the site and any charge with Charleston County on 843-720-7111.
When & how
Take the device to a Charleston County drop-off site or to a big box electronic store. Do not put it in the garbage roll cart, in the trash pile or in the recycling, because the Town refuses e-waste in all three.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device leaves the house, and keep cables, batteries and stands with the device or send loose batteries to a retailer that takes them. Keep the television out of the trash pile even though the pile takes appliances and metal, because the electronics exclusion is written separately.

Remodeling and construction debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction material has no curb route in Mount Pleasant. Landscaping and construction material cannot go in the roll cart or the trash pile, and bricks, concrete, tree stumps and contractor-generated debris are named as uncollectible, with the contractor responsible for hauled-away debris.

City cost & eligibility
The Town publishes no construction rate. It directs landscape and construction material to the landfill separately and names the county's Awendaw Convenience Center and Bees Ferry Landfill for the material it will not take, and Charleston County's own pages could not be read in this run, so confirm the receiving site and the charge with the county on 843-720-7111.
When & how
Arrange the container or the receiving site before the work produces debris. The Town sends landscape and construction material to the landfill separately, and a contractor performing construction, demolition, remodelling or landscaping is responsible for hauling that debris away.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the roll cart, because the Town states that landscape or construction material in the cart prevents the garbage from being collected, and keep it out of the trash pile, which is limited to named debris and reusable household goods. Keep tree limbs at 4 feet or shorter and no larger than 8 inches in diameter, and note that stumps are never collected.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is named on no Town list. The trash pile does take furniture and other non-food items that cannot be donated or recycled, which describes most machines, but the category is unnamed so the piece stays a confirmation.

City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine charge is published, and the service sits inside the collection the property already receives, so confirm the machine with Public Services at 843-849-2022 before it goes to the curb. The Town also asks for a call before collection on items a resident does not want picked up.
When & how
Confirm the machine on 843-849-2022, then put it in the trash pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, separated from bagged yard debris and from the recycling.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, remove the console and any battery pack, and keep loose weights with the frame. Keep it out of the roll cart and clear of utilities, and keep it out of the road travel lane.

The trash pile and cart rules

Accepted with preparation

Mount Pleasant runs two collections on one day. The roll cart takes household garbage, and a separate trash pile takes bagged yard debris, tree limbs, appliances, metal and furniture. Everything is at the curb by 7 a.m., the piles are separated, and only town-issued carts are collected.

City cost & eligibility
Garbage and trash collection are included in the Town service the property receives, and no bulky item price is published. One 90-gallon or 65-gallon roll cart is issued at no cost, a second cart costs $70 through the Public Services Department, only two carts are allowed per property, and the cart stays with the property. Confirm the account with Public Services on 843-849-2022.
When & how
Carts and piles go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, and the Town states that there is no set collection time because routes shift with traffic, volume and weather. Carts come back in within 12 hours of collection.
Get it ready
Separate the piles, because different trucks take different materials and the Town asks residents not to mix yard debris with other trash. Use brown paper yard bags for loose leaves and grass clippings, cut tree limbs to 4 feet or shorter and 8 inches or smaller with no stumps, break cardboard down inside the roll cart, and keep the carts and piles clear of manholes, storm drains and utilities without blocking the road.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Only town carts, only household garbage, and back in within 12 hours

Mount Pleasant issues one 90-gallon or one 65-gallon roll cart at no cost, with a second cart available for a fee through Public Services, and only two carts are allowed per property. The cart has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. with the handles facing the house and comes back in within 12 hours of collection. What goes inside is household garbage, cardboard boxes broken down and put in the cart rather than beside it, and residential medical waste, and sharps must be in a sharps container or a heavy plastic or metal container that is puncture resistant, tightly lidded, marked not recyclable, no more than three quarters full and never glass. Landscape and construction material in the cart stops the garbage from being collected at all, and a container that is not town issued is not collected.

Two trucks, one day, and piles that have to stay apart

The garbage truck and the trash trucks run on the same day, and different trucks take different materials because the yard debris goes for composting while the rest is disposed of differently. That is why the Town asks residents to separate the piles: bagged leaves and grass clippings in brown paper yard bags in one pile, brush and tree limbs at 4 feet or shorter and 8 inches or less in diameter with no stumps, and household appliances, metal items and furniture in another. Landfills do not accept yard debris in plastic bags, plastic bags are not accepted in the cart either, and debris goes on the road by the curb rather than on the lawn, manholes or storm drains, at a safe distance from utilities without blocking the road.

Four categories that never go to the Mount Pleasant curb

Electronics are excluded by environmental rule, so televisions, computers and other electronic equipment go to a Charleston County drop site or a big box store and not to the cart, the trash pile or the recycling. Hazardous material such as old pesticides and creosote materials, used oil, batteries and wet paint are refused, with oil going to the Town's maintenance facility on Sweetgrass Basket Parkway at no more than 5 gallons a visit and paint and chemicals going to the county's Awendaw Convenience Center or Bees Ferry Landfill. Compact fluorescent bulbs may not go in the garbage or trash because of mercury and are taken unbroken to a county convenience centre or a store collection bin. Propane tanks go back where they were purchased or to a hazardous waste collection day, never into a cart.

Town of Mount Pleasant Public Services Department, with Charleston County Environmental Management running recycling and the disposal sites

Put the pile out with the weekly collection

A household with bagged yard debris, tree limbs, an appliance, metal items, furniture, or an oversized piece the Town confirms.

Cost & conditions
Garbage and trash collection are included in the Town service the property receives and no bulky item price is published. One roll cart is issued free, a second cart costs $70 through Public Services, only two carts are allowed per property, and the second cart price is the only published cart figure. Confirm the account on 843-849-2022.
Arrange it
Set the carts and the separate piles at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day. The Town states that there is no set collection time because routes shift, and that the trash trucks run the same day as the garbage truck.

E-waste, engine parts, hazardous materials, used oil, tires, batteries, wet paint, tree stumps, bricks, concrete and contractor-generated debris are all refused, and landscape or construction material in a roll cart stops the garbage from being collected. Only town-issued carts are serviced, and items a resident does not want collected require a call first.

Town of Mount Pleasant Public Services Department, with Charleston County Environmental Management running recycling and the disposal sites

Use the Charleston County sites for recycling and refused material

A household with recyclables, electronics, household chemicals, paint or landscape and construction material that the Town will not take.

Cost & conditions
The Town names the county drop sites, the Awendaw Convenience Center and Bees Ferry Landfill without publishing a charge, and Charleston County's own pages could not be read in this run, so confirm the site, the hours and any fee with Charleston County on 843-720-7111.
Arrange it
Charleston County collects residential recycling at the curb every other week and runs drop sites in the Town that take paper including cardboard, plastics numbered 1 through 7, aluminum and steel cans, and glass bottles and jars. Household cleaners, chemicals and paint go to the county's Awendaw Convenience Center or Bees Ferry Landfill, and compact fluorescent bulbs go to a county convenience centre that accepts them or to a store collection bin.

This is a county service rather than a Town service, the county's own pages could not be read to confirm hours or charges, and the Town publishes no address for the Awendaw Convenience Center or Bees Ferry Landfill. Electronics are not accepted at the curb and have to be taken to one of these sites or to a big box store.

Take electronics to a county site or a big box store

A household with a television, computer or other electronic equipment that cannot go in the cart, the trash pile or the recycling.

Cost & conditions
The Town publishes no electronics price and only names the county drop sites and the big box electronic stores, so confirm the site and any charge with Charleston County on 843-720-7111 or with the store before making the trip.
Arrange it
Take the device to one of the Charleston County drop-off sites or to a big box electronic store, as the Town directs for televisions, computers and other electronic equipment.

Electronics stay out of the roll cart, the trash pile and the recycling in Mount Pleasant, and state rules keep them out of landfills, so none of the Town's own collections will take them. Wipe personal data before handover.

Open the Mount Pleasant trash page

With a new purchase

Donate usable goods before they become trash

A household with furniture, appliances or household goods that still work and could be reused.

Cost & conditions
No charge. The organisations the Town names accept or collect used items at no cost to the household, and the Town notes that some provide a tax-deductible receipt. Each organisation sets its own acceptance rules.
Arrange it
The Town names the Kidney Foundation, East Cooper Community Outreach, Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity as organisations that will collect or accept many used items, and it points residents to the recycling page for more disposal options.

Acceptance is up to each organisation, so a worn piece may be refused and then need the trash pile instead. Donation does not cover electronics, which still have to go to a county drop site or a big box store.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Mount Pleasant is mostly a county trip, because the Town's own collections cover the curb and leave the rest to Charleston County. The Town takes used motor oil and oyster shells only at its maintenance facility on Sweetgrass Basket Parkway, with a five gallon per visit limit on the oil and residential use only. Everything else that the curb refuses goes to a county site: electronics to a Charleston County drop-off site or a big box electronic store, hazardous material such as household cleaners, chemicals and paint to the county's Awendaw Convenience Center or Bees Ferry Landfill, compact fluorescent bulbs unbroken to a county convenience centre or a store collection bin, and landscape and construction material disposed of separately at the landfill because it cannot go in the cart or the trash pile. Charleston County also runs the curbside recycling every other week and the drop sites in the Town that take paper, plastics numbered 1 through 7, cans and glass. The Town publishes no address for the county landfill or the Awendaw centre and no county charge, so the county number 843-720-7111 is the confirmation step before any trip.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

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.

Will Mount Pleasant collect a mattress?

A mattress is not named in the Town's collectible lists, which cover household appliances, metal items, household furniture and other non-food items that cannot be donated or recycled. Confirm the piece with the Public Services Department at 843-849-2022 before setting it out, and if it is accepted put it in the trash pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day, separated from the yard debris and the recycling.Official guidance

Will the Town take a couch at the curb?

Yes. Household furniture is named in the Town's trash debris definition and in the collectible list, and the trash pile is collected on the same day as the garbage, so a couch goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day with no appointment. Keep it in a separate pile from the bagged yard debris, on the road by the curb rather than on the lawn, and consider one of the reuse organisations the Town names first.Official guidance

How do appliances leave a Mount Pleasant address?

Household appliances and metal items are named in the Town's trash pile, which is collected on the same day as the garbage, so an appliance goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day in a pile separate from the bagged yard debris. Keep it out of the roll cart and clear of utilities, and confirm anything unusual, including a unit that holds refrigerant, with Public Services at 843-849-2022.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in Mount Pleasant?

Mount Pleasant collects appliances and metal items in the trash pile on the garbage day, and its published set-out tip covers a refrigerator directly: remove the doors and put the opening towards the ground when the unit is placed out for pickup. Put it in the separate pile for furniture, metal and appliances by 7 a.m., keep it out of the bagged yard debris, and call Public Services at 843-849-2022 to confirm the refrigerant handling and the account before the unit goes to the curb.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Mount Pleasant?

Not to the curb. The Town states that environmental regulations prohibit televisions, computers and other electronic equipment from landfills, and it lists e-waste among the items it cannot collect, directing residents to Charleston County drop-off sites or big box electronic stores. There is no published fee, and Charleston County can be reached on 843-720-7111 for the nearest site.Official guidance

What goes in the Mount Pleasant trash pile?

Bagged yard debris in brown paper yard bags, brush and tree limbs at 4 feet or shorter and no larger than 8 inches in diameter with no stumps, household appliances and metal items, and household furniture and other non-food items that cannot be donated or recycled. Everything goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on the garbage day in separate piles, and the Town refuses e-waste, tires, batteries, wet paint, hazardous materials, bricks, concrete and contractor-generated debris.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Mount Pleasant?

The Town's Public Services Department collects both the garbage and the trash pile through its Waste Management Division, on the same day each week, with everything at the curb by 7 a.m. Curbside recycling is a different arrangement: Charleston County collects it every other week and runs the drop sites in the Town. The Public Services Department is at 1351 Sweetgrass Basket Parkway on 843-849-2022, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Official guidance

Which carts will the Town collect?

Only town-issued roll carts. The Town issues one 90-gallon or one 65-gallon cart at no cost, a second cart costs $70 through the Public Services Department, and only two carts are allowed per property, with garbage in any other container left behind. Carts go to the curb by 7 a.m. with the handles facing the house and come back in within 12 hours. Landscape and construction material placed in a cart stops the garbage from being collected at all.Official guidance

How does yard debris go out in Mount Pleasant?

Loose leaves and grass clippings go in brown paper yard bags, because the Town requires paper bags for loose yard debris and landfills do not accept yard debris in plastic bags. Brush and tree limbs go in the same pile cut to 4 feet or shorter and no larger than 8 inches in diameter, and stumps are never collected. Yard debris stays in its own pile, separate from appliances, metal items, furniture and the roll cart, because different trucks take the materials to different places.Official guidance

Where do electronics, paint and used oil go?

Electronics are not collected at the curb, because state environmental rules keep televisions, computers and other electronic equipment out of landfills, so they go to a Charleston County drop-off site or a big box electronic store. Paint and household chemicals go to the county's Awendaw Convenience Center or Bees Ferry Landfill. Used motor oil is different: the Town takes it at its maintenance facility on Sweetgrass Basket Parkway at no more than 5 gallons per visit for residential use. Questions go to Charleston County on 843-720-7111.Official guidance
