City collection Furniture is a named category in the city's bulk collection and has to be placed in its own pile, separate from white goods, yard debris and concrete. Small amounts of construction debris go with the furniture pile rather than mixed into anything else. No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses served by the weekly sanitation collection. The city publishes no per item bulk charge for this service; the only published charge is the one time cost of an additional garbage roll cart.
City collection The city's separated bulk categories name white goods, furniture, building material, yard debris and concrete, but they do not name mattresses or box springs, so bedding has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Division before it goes out. No charge and no category is published for bedding, so call the Sanitation Division on 843-745-1026 to confirm whether a mattress goes out with the weekly bulk collection and how it has to be prepared.
City collection White goods and metal are one of the city's separated bulk categories. Refrigerators, freezers, stoves, washing machines, dryers, water heaters and window air conditioners are all named, and refrigerator and freezer doors have to come off before the appliance goes to the kerb. No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses served by the weekly sanitation collection, for white goods and similar metal items placed in their own separated pile. No per item charge is published for this service.
City collection The city runs weekly residential trash collection and takes bulky material on the same service, provided everything is separated into the published categories first. Household garbage itself has to go in the city roll cart, and extra capacity comes from buying a second cart. No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses served by the weekly sanitation collection, within the published category limits. The published charge for more capacity is the one time fee for an additional garbage roll cart, which has its own record.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
North Charleston collects residential garbage every week in a city roll cart and takes bulk material on the same service, but only if it is sorted first. White goods and metal go in one pile with refrigerator and freezer doors removed, furniture and small amounts of building material in a second, yard debris cut to four feet and six inches in a third, leaves and grass in paper bags, and concrete in a fifth, capped at a cubic foot. Mixed piles are refused outright, contractors and businesses cannot use the service, and televisions, computers, paint, oil and pressurised containers never go to the kerb at all. Electronics are now a Charleston County service, and the only charge the city publishes for this programme is the one time cost of buying a second garbage roll cart.
Furniture is a named category in the city's bulk collection and has to be placed in its own pile, separate from white goods, yard debris and concrete. Small amounts of construction debris go with the furniture pile rather than mixed into anything else.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses served by the weekly sanitation collection. The city publishes no per item bulk charge for this service; the only published charge is the one time cost of an additional garbage roll cart.
When & how
Place the furniture at the kerb no earlier than 48 hours before your scheduled collection day, in its own pile, and keep roll carts positioned with the lids closed and the handles facing the house.
Get it ready
Separate the pile by category, because the city states plainly that mixed piles cannot be collected. Keep building material within the 90 gallon per pickup limit, and keep e-waste, paint, oil, chemicals and pressurised containers out of the load entirely.
The city's separated bulk categories name white goods, furniture, building material, yard debris and concrete, but they do not name mattresses or box springs, so bedding has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Division before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No charge and no category is published for bedding, so call the Sanitation Division on 843-745-1026 to confirm whether a mattress goes out with the weekly bulk collection and how it has to be prepared.
When & how
Call 843-745-1026 before setting bedding out, then follow the collection day and placement the division gives you.
Get it ready
Keep bedding dry and separate from the other piles, and never put it out as part of a mixed pile, because the city refuses mixed loads. Keep any chemical product out of the load and route it through the county instead.
White goods and metal are one of the city's separated bulk categories. Refrigerators, freezers, stoves, washing machines, dryers, water heaters and window air conditioners are all named, and refrigerator and freezer doors have to come off before the appliance goes to the kerb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses served by the weekly sanitation collection, for white goods and similar metal items placed in their own separated pile. No per item charge is published for this service.
When & how
Set the appliance out no earlier than 48 hours before your scheduled collection day, in the white goods and metal pile rather than with furniture or yard debris.
Get it ready
Remove refrigerator and freezer doors before placement, because the city requires it for safety, and empty the unit before it leaves the house. Keep the metal pile separate from furniture and building material so it is not refused as a mixed load.
The city no longer collects electronic waste. Televisions, computers, monitors, printers and other devices are refused at the kerb, and the city states that disposal is now a Charleston County service.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no fee because it no longer provides the service and routes residents to Charleston County, so confirm the county's drop-off and any charge with Charleston County Environmental Management before loading the car.
When & how
Do not put electronics out with the weekly collection. Contact Charleston County Environmental Management for the current drop-off arrangements, since the city states the county provides this service.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, phones and drives before disposal and keep devices out of the bulk piles and the recycling container, because the city lists e-waste among the materials it will not collect.
Small amounts of construction debris are collected, but they share the furniture pile and are capped at 90 gallons per pickup. Concrete has its own small allowance of one cubic foot, and material from contractors, landscapers and businesses is refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses, for household sized amounts within the 90 gallon limit on building material and the one cubic foot concrete allowance. Work generated by a contractor, landscaper or business is not eligible.
When & how
Put the material out no earlier than 48 hours before the scheduled collection day, in its own pile with the furniture category, and keep concrete separate because it has its own allowance.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the published limits, because a larger renovation is not a residential collection, and separate every category, because a mixed pile is refused. Contractors and businesses have to arrange their own disposal.
Exercise equipment is not one of the city's separated categories, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Division before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No category and no rate is published for exercise equipment, so call the Sanitation Division on 843-745-1026 to confirm whether the machine can be collected with the weekly bulk service.
When & how
Call 843-745-1026 before setting the machine out, then follow the day and placement the division gives you.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, tape the cables to the frame and keep the parts together so one person can handle each piece, and drain any water or oil reservoir first.
The city runs weekly residential trash collection and takes bulky material on the same service, provided everything is separated into the published categories first. Household garbage itself has to go in the city roll cart, and extra capacity comes from buying a second cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of North Charleston residential addresses served by the weekly sanitation collection, within the published category limits. The published charge for more capacity is the one time fee for an additional garbage roll cart, which has its own record.
When & how
Roll carts go to the street side before 7 a.m. on the collection day, no more than twelve hours earlier, and come back in within twelve hours of pickup. Bulk piles go out no earlier than 48 hours before the collection.
Get it ready
Separate white goods and metal, furniture and building material, yard debris, leaves and grass, and concrete into their own piles, because a mixed pile is not collected. Bag leaves and grass in paper only, keep yard debris under four feet and six inches in diameter, and keep e-waste, chemicals and pressurised containers out of every pile.
Neither city page read publishes a tire rule, so tires cannot be assumed to be part of the bulk collection. The city routes disposal questions it cannot answer to the county, which is also where the city's own e-waste referral points.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate is published for tires and no city category covers them, so confirm the route with the Sanitation Division on 843-745-1026, with Charleston County Environmental Management, or with a tire retailer.
When & how
Confirm the route before a trip. The city's own guidance for materials it no longer handles points residents to Charleston County Environmental Management.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the bulk piles and out of the recycling container, because a mixed pile is refused and the city publishes no tire category. A retailer that fits new tires is the usual place to leave the old ones.
Hazardous products are refused at the kerb. Paint and paint containers, oil, gasoline, diesel, other petroleum products, chemicals and pressurised containers are all on the city's list of materials the bulk collection will not take.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no fee because it does not run the collection, and the county service it points to publishes its own terms, so confirm the current route and any charge with Charleston County Environmental Management.
When & how
Do not set chemicals, paint, oil or pressurised containers out with the weekly collection or with a bulk pile. Contact Charleston County Environmental Management for the current household hazardous waste arrangements.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers and never mix them, keep them out of the rubbish and recycling carts, and never pour them into a storm drain. Latex paint that is fully dried is the household exception that can go out with the rubbish in most programmes, but confirm the local rule before doing so.
Bulk trash has to be placed at the kerb in separate piles by category: white goods and metal, furniture and building material, yard debris, leaves and grass, and concrete. The city states plainly that mixed piles cannot be collected, and a pile set out earlier than 48 hours before the collection day is not part of the regular service.
Carts out before 7 a.m. and back within twelve hours
Roll carts go to the street side before 7 a.m. on the collection day, no more than twelve hours beforehand, and come back in within twelve hours of pickup. Carts are positioned with the lids closed and the handles facing the house.
Electronics, chemicals and business waste never go to the kerb
Televisions, computers, monitors and printers are refused because the city no longer collects e-waste, and paint, paint containers, oil, gasoline, diesel, chemicals and pressurised containers are refused as hazardous material. Trash from contractors, landscapers, businesses or other non residential sources is also refused, and the city points residents to Charleston County for the services it no longer provides.
Logs, limbs, brush and small stumps go in their own pile, limited to pieces no longer than four feet and no larger than six inches in diameter. Leaves and grass clippings go in paper bags only, plastic bags are refused, and that material is collected on the same day as household garbage.
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.

Use the county service for what the city no longer takes
A household with a television, computer, chemicals, paint or pressurised containers.

Arrange it
Contact Charleston County Environmental Management for electronics and household hazardous waste, and use the county's convenience site information, which the city links from its Sanitation Division page.
The city publishes county contact links rather than county rules, so confirm hours, accepted items and any charge directly rather than assuming the county takes every device or chemical.
North Charleston keeps self haul inside the county rather than at a city yard: the city publishes no drop-off centre of its own, and its Sanitation Division page states that services it no longer handles, including e-waste such as televisions and computers, are provided by Charleston County Environmental Management, with a Dorchester County link for residents in that direction. The city's own programme is the kerbside one, and it works only when the load is sorted into white goods and metal, furniture and building material, yard debris, leaves and grass, and concrete. Mixed piles are refused, contractors and businesses are excluded, building material is capped at 90 gallons and concrete at one cubic foot per pickup, and everything except the roll cart has to be out no earlier than 48 hours before the scheduled collection day.

Do appliance doors have to come off in North Charleston?+

Why was my North Charleston bulk pile left behind?+
