Unincorporated Spartanburg County uses drop-off centers and sets no cart-placement rule. In the City of Spartanburg, carts must be curbside by 7:30 AM on the scheduled collection day and placed 3 feet away from cars, mailboxes, and other objects.
Because the unincorporated county has no curbside cart program, cart-placement rules come from municipalities. The City of Spartanburg requires residents to have their garbage cart placed curbside by 7:30 AM on the scheduled collection day and to place carts 3 feet away from cars, mailboxes, and other objects so the automated truck can reach them. The city does not collect paint and liquids, televisions, electronics, tires, or yard trimmings in the garbage cart, and additional carts carry an added fee. Unincorporated-county residents instead haul trash to the county's staffed recycling/collection centers rather than placing carts curbside.
Carts set out late or blocked by obstacles may be skipped; prohibited items (tires, electronics, yard waste) are not collected and must go to Spartanburg County Solid Waste.
