City collection Furniture is named by the city as an item that can be set out with the regular garbage, so a couch goes out on the zone day as part of the bulky junk allowance rather than needing an appointment. $33.93 per month for residential curbside service including two cubic yards of bulk waste. Furniture is covered by the monthly residential rate of 33.93, which includes two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste, and it is named in the city's bulk waste guidance as an item that can be set out with the regular garbage. Material above the allowance moves to the call-back rate of 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, or to the transfer station at 77.68 per ton with a five dollar minimum.
City collection No Myrtle Beach page names a mattress, so bedding sits inside the general bulky junk category, which the city describes as appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items, and the answer depends on how the crew classifies it on the day. A mattress would ride the two cubic yard bulk allowance in the 33.93 dollar monthly rate, or the call-back rate of 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste above the allowance, but the city does not name bedding, so confirm with the Solid Waste & Recycling Division on 843-918-2160 before the unit goes out.
City collection Appliances are the first item the city names in its bulky waste guidance, and they can go out with the regular garbage on the zone day. The transfer station also takes bulk waste, so an appliance has a drop-off route with a per ton charge. $33.93 per month for residential curbside service including two cubic yards of bulk waste, with the transfer station charging bulk waste at 77.68 per ton. Appliances are named in the city's bulk waste guidance and covered by the 33.93 dollar monthly residential rate including two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste. Above the allowance the call-back rate is 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, and the Jake Abraham Transfer Station charges 77.68 per ton for bulk waste with a five dollar minimum load charge and no cash accepted.
City collection Bulky junk is part of the city's regular weekly service rather than a booked pickup. The city names appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items as things that can go out with the regular garbage, with the residential rate including two cubic yards of bulk waste, and it refuses construction and demolition material outright. $33.93 per month for residential curbside service including one garbage cart, one recycling cart and two cubic yards of bulk and yard waste. The city states that residential customers receive service for one roll cart for household garbage, one recycling roll cart and two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste at 33.93 per month, with each additional garbage roll cart at 12.87 per month and an additional recycling cart free on request. Material beyond the allowance can be handled through the call-back service, which costs 99.78 for garbage or recycling and 127.51 for bulk or yard waste plus 5.44 per cubic yard of yard waste and 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, or by taking it to the transfer station.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Myrtle Beach collects its own waste: the Solid Waste & Recycling Division sits inside the Public Works Department, runs the Jake Abraham Transfer Station, and picks up household garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulky junk on the same day each week from Monday to Thursday in four zones. The residential rate is 33.93 a month for one garbage roll cart, one recycling cart and two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste, with an extra garbage cart at 12.87 a month. Bulky junk is part of the weekly service, and the city names appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items, but it refuses construction and demolition material outright, from brick, block and rubble to concrete, dirt, shingles, plywood and toilets. Electronics are the state-law exception: televisions and computers cannot go in the garbage or the recycling cart, so the city takes them by telephone arrangement or at the transfer station, where electronic waste is accepted at no charge. Paint and household chemicals go to the Horry County hazardous waste facility in Conway, which is free to county residents including Myrtle Beach households.

City cost & eligibility
$33.93 per month for residential curbside service including one garbage cart, one recycling cart and two cubic yards of bulk and yard waste. The city states that residential customers receive service for one roll cart for household garbage, one recycling roll cart and two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste at 33.93 per month, with each additional garbage roll cart at 12.87 per month and an additional recycling cart free on request. Material beyond the allowance can be handled through the call-back service, which costs 99.78 for garbage or recycling and 127.51 for bulk or yard waste plus 5.44 per cubic yard of yard waste and 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, or by taking it to the transfer station.
When & how
Put the pile out on the household's zone day, with collection running Monday to Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Zone 1 collected on Mondays through Zone 4 on Thursdays, and carts out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before and no later than 6 a.m. on collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile neat at the curb, containerize all loose items so nothing scatters, and keep the pile three to five feet from other set-outs and from fixtures such as poles, fences, meter covers, sprinkler heads and parked cars. Keep construction and demolition material out entirely, because brick, block, rubble, concrete, dirt, shingles, plywood, lumber and toilets are all refused.
Furniture is named by the city as an item that can be set out with the regular garbage, so a couch goes out on the zone day as part of the bulky junk allowance rather than needing an appointment.
City cost & eligibility
$33.93 per month for residential curbside service including two cubic yards of bulk waste. Furniture is covered by the monthly residential rate of 33.93, which includes two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste, and it is named in the city's bulk waste guidance as an item that can be set out with the regular garbage. Material above the allowance moves to the call-back rate of 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, or to the transfer station at 77.68 per ton with a five dollar minimum.
When & how
Set the piece out on the zone collection day, with the pile at the curb by 6 a.m. and carts out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before.
Get it ready
Keep the piece in a neat pile, containerize any loose parts, and keep the pile three to five feet from fixtures and other set-outs so the collection crew can reach it without damage.
No Myrtle Beach page names a mattress, so bedding sits inside the general bulky junk category, which the city describes as appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items, and the answer depends on how the crew classifies it on the day.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress would ride the two cubic yard bulk allowance in the 33.93 dollar monthly rate, or the call-back rate of 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste above the allowance, but the city does not name bedding, so confirm with the Solid Waste & Recycling Division on 843-918-2160 before the unit goes out.
When & how
Use the regular zone collection day if it qualifies as bulky junk, with the pile at the curb by 6 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and wrapped so it can be handled, keep it in the pile with the other bulky items rather than standing alone, and keep the pile clear of fixtures and other set-outs.
Appliances are the first item the city names in its bulky waste guidance, and they can go out with the regular garbage on the zone day. The transfer station also takes bulk waste, so an appliance has a drop-off route with a per ton charge.
City cost & eligibility
$33.93 per month for residential curbside service including two cubic yards of bulk waste, with the transfer station charging bulk waste at 77.68 per ton. Appliances are named in the city's bulk waste guidance and covered by the 33.93 dollar monthly residential rate including two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste. Above the allowance the call-back rate is 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, and the Jake Abraham Transfer Station charges 77.68 per ton for bulk waste with a five dollar minimum load charge and no cash accepted.
When & how
Set the appliance out on the zone day, or take it to the Jake Abraham Transfer Station at 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, where the memorial transfer station is open Monday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the residential convenience centre is open Tuesday to Friday 3 to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors before it goes out, keep it inside the two cubic yard allowance where possible, and bring proof of residency such as a utility bill, driver's licence or parking decal to the transfer station.
State law keeps electronics out of the garbage and the recycling cart. The city takes television and computer pickups by telephone arrangement, and electronic waste is accepted free at the Jake Abraham Transfer Station, while the county directs municipal residents to their municipality rather than to its own recycling centres.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city states that state law requires separate recycling for electronics, televisions and computers and that they cannot go in the garbage or curbside recycling containers, that residents can contact the Solid Waste Division on 843-918-2160 for pickup, and that electronics can be dropped at the Jake Abraham Transfer Station on 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, where the published fee schedule lists electronic waste at no charge.
When & how
Call 843-918-2160 to arrange the curbside pickup, or drop the device at the transfer station during its published hours, with the residential convenience centre open Tuesday to Friday 3 to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the memorial transfer station open Monday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer or phone leaves the house, keep the device out of the garbage and the green recycling cart because state law forbids it there, and bring proof of residency for the transfer station, where a five dollar minimum load charge applies but electronic waste itself is free.
Myrtle Beach refuses construction and demolition material at the curb in plain terms, naming brick, block, rubble, concrete, dirt, shingles, plywood, lumber and toilets, and the transfer station's accepted list does not include a construction category either, so renovation material needs a private arrangement.
City cost & eligibility
There is no city rate for construction or demolition debris because the city does not take it: the bulk waste guidance states that no construction and demolition materials will be accepted and lists brick, block, rubble, concrete, dirt, shingles, sheets of plywood and other lumber, with toilets also refused, and the transfer station's accepted materials are household garbage, bulk waste, yard waste, co-mingled recyclables, clean wood waste, scrap metal, electronic waste and tires. A private hauler or contractor has to handle the material.
When & how
There is no city collection day for this material and no city drop-off for it.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the curbside pile and out of the transfer station load, separate clean wood waste if any is going to the transfer station because that is accepted free, and note that landscape contractors are required by city code to haul away the yard debris they generate.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky waste guidance, which covers appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No published list or price names an exercise machine. A machine would use the two cubic yard bulk allowance inside the 33.93 dollar monthly rate, or the call-back rate of 127.51 plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, or the transfer station's 77.68 per ton with a five dollar minimum, so confirm which applies with the Solid Waste & Recycling Division on 843-918-2160.
When & how
Ask the division first, then use the zone day or the transfer station during its published hours.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep the pieces together so they count as one bulky article, and keep the pile three to five feet from fixtures and other set-outs.
Tires are refused in the curbside recycling list but accepted free at the Jake Abraham Transfer Station for city residents, limited to four off-the-rim tires per person per day, with proof of residency required.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The transfer station page lists automotive and light truck tires at no charge with a limit of four off-the-rim tires per person per day, and it requires proof of residency shown with a current utility bill, driver's licence or current parking decal for the self-load containers. A five dollar minimum load charge applies to loads generally, while tires themselves are on the no charge list.
When & how
Take the tires to the Jake Abraham Transfer Station at 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, with the residential convenience centre open Tuesday to Friday 3 to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the memorial transfer station open Monday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Take the tires off the rims because the free limit is four off-the-rim tires per person per day, keep tires out of the curbside pile and the recycling cart because the city's recycling list refuses them, and bring proof of residency to the transfer station.
Household chemicals go to the Horry County Solid Waste Authority's permanent hazardous waste facility in Conway, which is free to county residents including Myrtle Beach households, with a twenty gallon per month paint limit and no contractors allowed. Batteries and fluorescent tubes have their own published routes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The authority states that it manages a Household Hazardous Waste Facility to collect harmful materials free to residents of Horry County, open Tuesdays and Thursdays 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 1886 Highway 90 in Conway on 843-347-1651, for residential material only with no contractors or contractor vehicles, and with a maximum of twenty gallons of paint per month. Lead-acid, alkaline, non-alkaline and rechargeable batteries are accepted from residents at all authority recycling centres, and alkaline batteries may go in household garbage.
When & how
Take the material to 1886 Highway 90 in Conway on a Tuesday or Thursday between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. or a Saturday between 7 a.m. and 12 p.m., and use the recycling centres for batteries or Melton Electric on 111 Jacob Lane in Myrtle Beach for fluorescent bulbs and tubes.
Get it ready
Keep paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, fuels and other hazardous products out of the garbage, the recycling cart and the curbside bulky pile, keep them in their original containers, remember the twenty gallon monthly paint limit, and remove lithium-ion batteries before disposing of any item, taking sealed units to the hazardous waste facility because lithium fires have damaged facilities.
The city collects everything on one day in your zone
The Solid Waste & Recycling Division sits inside the Public Works Department, operates the Jake Abraham Transfer Station and provides solid waste and recycling pickup for residential and commercial customers, with the main line on 843-918-2160 from Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and named supervisors for residential and commercial service. Everything goes out on the same day each week: household garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulky junk are collected Monday to Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. in four zones, with Zone 1 on Mondays through Zone 4 on Thursdays. Households get a 95 gallon blue cart for garbage and a 65 gallon green cart for recycling, and garbage goes in city carts only with closed lids and no extra bags beside or on top of the cart. Carts go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before collection, no later than 6 a.m. on collection day, and come back in no later than 11 p.m. on collection day, with a citation possible for leaving them out.
What the monthly rate buys, and what extra service costs
The published residential rate is 33.93 a month for one roll cart for household garbage, one recycling roll cart, two cubic yards of bulk waste and yard waste. Each additional garbage roll cart costs 12.87 a month, an additional recycling cart is free on request, and damaged carts are replaced at no charge. When something is missed or extra service is needed the call-back rate is 99.78 for garbage or recycling and 127.51 for bulk or yard waste, with 5.44 per cubic yard of yard waste and 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste added. Anything a household would rather drive itself goes to the Jake Abraham Transfer Station on 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, where a five dollar minimum applies to all loads and no cash is accepted, garbage and bulk waste are 77.68 per ton, yard waste is 53.68 per ton, and clean wood waste, co-mingled recyclables, electronic waste and up to four off-the-rim tires per person per day are free.
The set-out rules and the refusals that send material elsewhere
Bulk waste is part of the weekly service, with appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items allowed with the regular garbage, loose items containerized, and piles kept three to five feet from other set-outs and from fixtures such as poles, fences, meter covers, sprinkler heads and parked cars. Construction and demolition material is refused outright, including brick, block, rubble, concrete, dirt, shingles, plywood and other lumber, and toilets are not accepted at all. Yard waste must be in paper bags, limbs cut into four foot sections no larger than four inches in diameter, with no land clearing debris and no landscaper-generated waste because city code requires landscape contractors to haul their own. And electronics cannot go in the garbage or the recycling cart because state law requires separate recycling for electronics, televisions and computers, so those go to the city by telephone arrangement on 843-918-2160 or to the transfer station, where electronic waste is free.
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.

A household with furniture, household items or a working bicycle that could be reused.
Cost & conditions
The county authority describes The Store as a resale outlet at 1874 Highway 90 in Conway that accepts donated items for reuse, and it points working bicycles either to The Store or to a donation shed at a recycling centre, but it publishes no fee because these are donation routes rather than disposal services.
Arrange it

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 much bulky junk can go out in Myrtle Beach?+
Two cubic yards of bulk waste are included in the 33.93 dollar monthly residential rate, which also covers one garbage roll cart, one recycling cart and yard waste. Bulky junk rides the regular weekly collection rather than needing a booking, but material above the allowance has to go through the call-back service, which costs 127.51 for bulk or yard waste plus 9.10 per cubic yard of bulk waste, or to the Jake Abraham Transfer Station, where bulk waste is charged at 77.68 per ton with a five dollar minimum load charge.Official guidance
Will Myrtle Beach take a couch?+
Yes. The city's bulk waste guidance says appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items can be set out with the regular garbage, and bulky junk is collected on the same day each week along with household garbage, recycling and yard waste. The monthly residential rate includes two cubic yards of bulk waste, and material beyond that goes to the call-back service or the transfer station.Official guidance
Will a mattress go out with the trash in Myrtle Beach?+
The city names appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of miscellaneous household items in its bulky waste guidance and does not name bedding, so a mattress should be confirmed with the Solid Waste & Recycling Division on 843-918-2160. If it is accepted it uses the two cubic yard bulk allowance included in the 33.93 dollar monthly rate, and anything above the allowance is charged at the call-back or transfer station rate.Official guidance
How do appliances leave a Myrtle Beach home?+
Either curbside on the zone collection day, because the city names appliances among the bulky items that can be set out with the regular garbage, or at the Jake Abraham Transfer Station on 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, where bulk waste is accepted. Curbside appliances sit inside the two cubic yard bulk allowance in the 33.93 dollar monthly rate, while the transfer station charges 77.68 per ton with a five dollar minimum load charge and takes no cash.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Myrtle Beach?+
They cannot go in the garbage or the curbside recycling cart, because the city states that state law requires separate recycling for electronics, televisions and computers. Instead residents contact the Solid Waste Division on 843-918-2160 to arrange a pickup, or drop the device at the Jake Abraham Transfer Station on 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, where electronic waste is on the no charge list. The county authority tells residents of municipalities to contact their municipality rather than bringing electronics to its own recycling centres.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Myrtle Beach?+
The city's own Solid Waste & Recycling Division, which sits inside the Public Works Department and provides solid waste and recycling pickup for residential and commercial customers while operating the Jake Abraham Transfer Station. The main line is 843-918-2160, open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the residential supervisor on 843-918-2168. Curbside collection runs Monday to Thursday between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. in four zones.Official guidance
Which carts does the city provide?+
A 95 gallon blue cart for solid waste and a 65 gallon green cart for recycling only. Household garbage must be in a city roll cart with the lid closed, and no extra bags should be placed on top of or beside the cart because only city carts are serviced. Recyclables go loose and co-mingled in the green cart with no bags, rinsed and clean, and cardboard can be placed beside the recycling container. Additional garbage carts cost 12.87 a month, additional recycling carts are free on request, and damaged carts are replaced free.Official guidance
When do carts have to go out and come in?+
City code requires carts at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 6 a.m. on the day of collection, and they must be removed from curbside no later than 11 p.m. on the collection day. Staff begin collecting at 6 a.m. on weekdays, and leaving carts out after the removal deadline is a violation of the city's solid waste ordinance.Official guidance
How does yard waste have to be set out?+
In paper bags, because the county authority only accepts yard waste in paper bags and the city repeats that requirement, with brown paper lawn bags available at local retailers. Larger tree limbs can go to the curb if they are cut into sections four feet long and no larger than four inches in diameter, loose items must be in brown paper bags, piles stay three to five feet from other items and fixtures, and no land clearing debris or landscaper-generated waste is accepted because city code requires landscape contractors to haul away their own debris.Official guidance
When is the transfer station open?+
Two operations share the site at 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue. The residential convenience centre is open to city residents only on Tuesdays through Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the memorial transfer station is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Proof of residency is required for the self-load containers through a current utility bill, driver's licence or current parking decal, a five dollar minimum applies to all loads, and no cash is accepted.Official guidance
Can I use the county recycling centres instead?+
Not for everything. The Horry County Solid Waste Authority states that it does not provide residential curbside collection and lists Myrtle Beach among the municipalities that do, and for electronics it says residents living in a municipality should contact their local municipality rather than bringing televisions, computer CPUs and monitors to its recycling centres. The county remains the route for household hazardous waste at its facility in Conway, and it also runs The Store resale outlet and the composting operation.Official guidance
