You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mount Pleasant.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Mount Pleasant?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
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
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
