In Summerville and North Charleston, roll carts go to the curb by the morning of your collection day and come back the same day. Convenience-site users bring waste directly to staffed sites instead.
Where towns provide curbside service, residents place roll carts at the curb with lids closed, usually by 6 to 7 a.m. on the assigned day, then retrieve them the same day and store them out of street view between pickups. Carts must sit clear of mailboxes, parked cars, and drainage. For unincorporated residents there is no curb setout at all: household garbage and recycling go straight to a county convenience site during posted hours. Many Dorchester subdivisions are HOA-governed and add stricter screening rules for where carts may be kept between collections.
Carts left out past the deadline or stored in public view draw a warning, then code-enforcement fines. HOA cart-storage penalties are separate.
