Garbage collection
Residential garbage is collected weekly; the address lookup returns the assigned weekday. The City says residential garbage is collected weekly. Enter the complete service address because Charleston postal addresses can cross collection jurisdictions.
Recycling
Charleston County provides single-stream recycling on an every-other-week route for eligible addresses; the lookup returns the published weekday, week, and next listed date. Businesses, schools, and some multi-family properties use different programs and should confirm eligibility with Charleston County.
Holiday collection changes
Current dated City and County notices override the normal route. Follow the official source links before a holiday.
Bulk waste and yard waste
The address lookup returns the weekday from the City Trash & Yard Waste Collection Areas layer when available. Use the City trash and yard-waste route plus current Environmental Services preparation rules.
