Unincorporated Spartanburg County provides no mandatory curbside collection; instead the county operates 17 staffed recycling/collection centers where residents dispose of household trash and recyclables. City of Spartanburg residents receive curbside cart collection under the city's sanitation program.
Spartanburg County's solid waste system is drop-off based for the unincorporated county: the county provides seventeen recycling/collection centers for residents to conveniently dispose of household trash and recyclables. Centers are staffed and open Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM (Station #16, Wellford, closes at 4:30 PM), and service is limited to Spartanburg County residents. There is no county-mandated weekly curbside pickup in the unincorporated county. Inside the City of Spartanburg, residents receive curbside garbage-cart collection on a scheduled collection day under the city's own sanitation rules. Confirm whether your address is unincorporated or in an incorporated city.
Improper disposal or use of centers by non-residents is prohibited; illegal dumping of trash is enforced under state litter law (S.C. Code 16-11-700) and county litter control.
