Richland County collects large items like furniture, appliances, mattresses, and box springs curbside by appointment only. Electronics (TVs, computers, printers) are hazardous waste and not taken; residents may also use county drop-off centers free of charge.
Bulky waste in unincorporated Richland County is handled under the Chapter 12 solid-waste program. Large items such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, and box springs are picked up curbside by appointment only, so residents must schedule a pickup rather than leave items at the curb on a regular collection day. The county does not accept computers, printers, or televisions because they are classified as hazardous waste; these must go to a drop-off/recycling center. Richland County residents may use the county's drop-off garbage and recycling centers free of charge for household bulk and recyclables. Setting out bulky waste without an appointment, or dumping it on vacant land, can be treated as illegal dumping.
Dumping bulky waste without an appointment or on unpermitted land is unlawful under Sec. 12-60 and can trigger code enforcement, cleanup costs, and general-penalty fines up to $500 per day.
