Horry County Code Sec. 10.5-22 requires every person to arrange removal of solid waste from their property, either through a hauler service or by self-hauling to the designated facility. The Horry County Solid Waste Authority operates the county collection system; cities like Myrtle Beach run their own curbside service.
In unincorporated Horry County, Sec. 10.5-22(a) makes each generator responsible for removing solid waste via a private hauler or direct haul to the appropriate Solid Waste Authority disposal facility. Sec. 10-17 tasks the Horry County Solid Waste Authority with operating the county's collection system and providing convenience-center equipment for residential household waste and recycling. Business waste may not be placed in county residential equipment. Inside Myrtle Beach, Sec. 17-34 sets residential collection standards: garbage, trash, recyclables, yard waste, and bulk waste are collected at curbside on a city-set schedule, with each material segregated and placed in approved receptacles.
Failing to arrange lawful disposal, or placing a CFC-containing appliance (freon) at curbside so it can be crushed, violates Sec. 10.5-22; enforced under Sec. 10.5-28 penalties.
