Charleston County residents should set out the recycling roll cart by 7am on collection day (or the night before), keep it at least 3 feet from cars, mailboxes, and trees, with the cart handles facing the house.
Charleston County Environmental Management's cart guidance directs residents to place recycling at the curb by 7am on their recycling day, or the night before. The cart must sit at least 3 feet away from cars, mailboxes, and trees or shrubbery so the automated truck arm can reach it, with the handles of the cart facing your house (lid opening toward the street). Only accepted single-stream materials go in the cart. It is also unlawful under Sec. 10-28 for anyone to rummage through, scavenge from, or scatter the contents of any curbside solid-waste or recycling container. Municipal residents follow their own town's set-out rules.
Rummaging, scavenging, or scattering contents from a curbside container is a misdemeanor under Sec. 10-28; carts not properly placed may be skipped by the automated collection truck.
