Why local matters here

Charleston is not an easy place to run waste service. Peninsula alleys are tight, historic-district streets limit where containers can sit, island access runs across bridges and causeways, and hurricane season can upend a schedule overnight. We build programs around those realities — the right container in the right spot, on a schedule that fits your property — and we stay accountable for making it work.

Permits, the honest version

For most driveways and private commercial lots in Charleston County, a container on your own property needs no permit. Placement on a public street or in the right-of-way — common in the dense historic district downtown and on parts of the peninsula — may require approval from the City of Charleston. We help you figure out which applies before delivery.

Where it actually goes

Construction and demolition debris from Charleston-area jobs is routed through permitted Lowcountry disposal facilities, including the Bees Ferry Landfill operated by Charleston County. We coordinate the routing so you never have to think about where it goes.

Planning ahead in Charleston? Charleston demand spikes after hurricane season for storm cleanup, during the spring and fall tourist-shoulder renovation windows when restaurants and rentals refresh, and around King Street retail turnover. Plan roll-offs and portable toilets early in those windows.
