Oversized objects may not be dumped at Charleston County's resource recovery facility. Metal objects over 9 inches or non-metal items exceeding 2ft x 2ft x 5ft must be recycled or taken to a facility designated for oversized waste.
Sec. 10-74 prohibits disposing of oversized objects at the Charleston Resource Recovery Facility. An oversized metal object is any object with a cross-section exceeding nine inches; an oversized non-metal object exceeds two feet by two feet by five feet. Haulers must keep such items out of trucks bound for the facility, and residents who regularly generate oversized objects must recycle them or take them to a facility authorized for oversized waste. For household bulk pickup, residents in the unincorporated county should contact Charleston County Environmental Management to schedule large-item and white-goods collection. Tree limbs and yard debris follow separate size limits (typically cut to about 4-foot lengths).
Dumping an oversized object at the facility is a misdemeanor fined up to $100 per object (each object a separate offense); repeat violators may be banned from using the facility (Sec. 10-74(c)).
