How Do I Dispose of Common Household Items?

Many common household items like mattresses, carpet, furniture, etc. can be collected curbside by your trash provider. Please contact your trash provider (the municipality or PSD in which you live) for questions. Many household items may also be dropped off at one of Charleston County’s eight staffed Convenience Centers, which are listed below or indicated by a green recycling symbol on this page.

Residents who don't have residential garbage pick-up can take their garbage to one of the following convenience centers:

• Charleston County Proof of Residency Required
• Must show a photo I-D, Driver's License or Passport
• Utility or Tax bill will also be accepted along with a form of photo I-D
