Charleston County Environmental Management serves unincorporated areas through established collection districts. Every property owner must use an approved collection service, and residential recycling is collected every other week.
Sec. 10-19 divides the unincorporated county into solid-waste collection districts (I east of the Cooper River, II Ladson-Lincolnville, III Johns Island, IV around Ravenel). Sec. 10-24 requires every residential or commercial owner to use an approved licensed or governmental collection service. Charleston County Environmental Management provides single-stream recycling every other week; residents look up their day on the county GIS curbside map and can request a roll cart at (843) 720-7111 or Recycle@CharlestonCounty.org. Incorporated towns (Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, etc.) and the City of Charleston run their own trash collection, so confirm which jurisdiction serves your address.
Failing to use an approved disposal service violates Sec. 10-24; Sec. 10-26 makes solid-waste violations a misdemeanor fined $100 to $500, each day a separate offense.
