Dorchester County has no countywide curbside bulk pickup. Residents self-haul appliances, furniture, and large items to county convenience or C&D sites. Town residents may get limited bulk pickup from their municipality.
Large items like furniture, mattresses, and appliances generally go to a county convenience site rather than the curb. Appliances containing refrigerant must have it professionally removed before disposal. Construction and demolition debris is handled separately and is not accepted from contractors or commercial haulers at residential convenience sites; larger loads go to the county's C&D facility. Electronics, tires, and household hazardous materials such as paint and batteries are excluded from regular garbage and have their own drop-off channels. Summerville and North Charleston residents should check with their town for any scheduled bulk or white-goods pickup.
Illegal dumping of bulk items on roadsides or vacant land is prosecuted under SC litter law, with fines commonly running $200 to over $1,000 plus cleanup costs.
