Greenville, South Carolina has two distinct waste service providers depending on whether you’re in city limits or unincorporated Greenville County. City of Greenville residents are served by the City’s Solid Waste Division; unincorporated county residents are served by the Greater Greenville Sanitation District (GGSC). Both provide free bulk waste pickup by appointment. Greenville County also operates staffed Residential Waste and Recycling Facilities for e-waste, HHW, and self-haul drop-off. This guide covers every disposal option for residents across the Greenville metro.
The Greenville rule for construction debris: Construction debris is not bulk waste. Greenville County's Twin Chimneys Landfill takes it for a fee, or rent a dumpster.
What the city will not take: Construction debris, tires, hazardous waste, and electronics at the curb (South Carolina bans TVs and computers from landfills; the Recycling Center takes them).
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Greenville Public Works: Bulk Waste and Large Items, SC Department of Environmental Services: Greenville County recycling locations (City of Greenville Recycling Center). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.
Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:
Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$30 to $100 per pickup loadTransfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.
Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.
Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.

Will Habitat ReStore pick up kitchen cabinets?
Most ReStores pick up complete cabinet sets in good condition, along with doors, windows, appliances, and fixtures. Schedule before demolition and remove cabinets carefully with doors and drawers intact.
