How Do I Obtain Recycling Containers?

Request a recycling cart to start recycling!

Single Family Households Multi-Family (Apartments & Condos) Businesses Special Events

Single Family Households

95 Gallon Recycling Roll Cart

Single family homes along Charleston County Environmental Management's existing curbside collection routes are eligible to receive (1) 95-gallon recycling roll cart. Carts are serviced every two weeks. To determine whether your home is included on a curbside route, or to request to receive a 95-gallon roll cart, please complete the form below. Note, businesses, apartment complexes, and condominium complexes should NOT use this form.

*Owners of new home construction should submit their request once the home is occupied. Environmental Management will not deliver new carts until you have moved into the home due to some HOA regulations and the potential for a cart to be moved or stolen from the property.

Recycling Cart Request

Small 35-gallon recycling carts are available in limited quantities. Please note here if you would like to receive a 35-gallon cart.

Program Information

Multi-Family

Charleston County Environmental Management offers recycling service for residents living in apartments and condominiums. Participating communities agree to designate an area for recycling containers on their property, in or next to their garbage enclosure area or in parking spaces close to garbage dumpsters. Recycling containers are serviced on a weekly basis. Based on the size of the complex and the space available, Charleston County Environmental Management can provide a number of 95-gallon recycling roll carts or a central dumpster (available in various sizes) for recycling.
