Residential garbage roll-outs are picked up weekly Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.  Residents are asked to roll their container to the curb in front of their residence the night before their scheduled pick-up day.  Please place the handles of the roll-out toward the street.  Once your roll-out has been emptied, the container must be moved back to your residence.

​

The following items are NOT to be placed by the curb for garbage pick-up:

• Furniture

• Sofas

• Mattresses

• Electronics of Any Kind

• Construction Material or

• Metal Objects

​

Only the provided roll-out should be placed at the curb.  No other trash receptacles will be emptied.  If there continues to be over-filling of the container, the resident must order a second roll-out.  The cost of this second roll-put is $7 per month.

FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO REPORT PROBLEMS WITH GARBAGE SERVICES, PLEASE CALL (803) 475-6065.

LEAF COLLECTION

The special leaf collection season (not bagged) normally runs from mid-November through mid-March each year, with collection on Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s. Leaves placed on the curb for pickup must be separated from all material and placed at least ten (10) feet from any obstruction. (i.e. mailbox, post, telephone or power pole, tree or car).  Also please be mindful not to pile leaves that will cause any blockage of sewer drains.

​

All other months of the year, leaves will only be picked up if BAGGED and placed by the curb on regularly scheduled garbage collection days.

LIMBS AND BRUSH DEBRIS

All tree limbs, branches, underbrush and other yeard waste shall be placed between the curb and side walk.  Tree limbs must be cut into lengths no longer than 5 feet and no bigger than 6 inches in diameter.  Collection days are Tuesdays and Thursdays all year long.
