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 patio furniture: Patio sets are bulk waste by scheduled collection. Tape glass tops.
Program basics: Resident-generated household items; confirm counts and any appliance fee when you call. At the curb on the date Public Works gives you, clear of carts and obstructions, not before.
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 patio furniture are different from ordinary bulk. Patio sets accumulate damage that donation programs will not accept: rust on steel, fading and brittleness on plastic, unraveling resin wicker, and mildew on cushions. Intact aluminum and teak sets in good condition donate easily; everything else goes to scrap or bulk.
Three mistakes that get patio furniture left at the curb:
Paid options are for a full set with nowhere to stage it, a condo with no bulk service, or heavy cast pieces nobody will carry.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$10 to $30Plastic and resin pieces stack into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by load. Take the metal to a scrap yard separately where it is free or pays.
Break resin wicker frames down to reduce the volume charge.
LoadUp paid patio furniture pickup
$80+For Greenville households who need same-day or in-home pickup, need more capacity than free options provide, or want full-service crew-based hauling, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Greenville area for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your patio furniture. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

How much does paid patio furniture removal cost in Greenville?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single patio furniture pickup in Greenville starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Greenville households who need same-day or in-home pickup, need more capacity than free options provide, or want full-service crew-based hauling, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Greenville area for upfront-priced pickup.
Can patio furniture go out with bulk trash?
Yes in nearly every city with a bulk program. Remove glass tabletops and protect them, break down umbrellas, and stack chairs. Metal pieces can go to scrap instead.
Is aluminum patio furniture worth anything as scrap?
Yes. Aluminum pays several times the per-pound rate of steel, and a full aluminum set weighs 60 to 120 pounds. Many people get $20 to $60 at a yard, or simply give it to a scrapper who picks it up free.
What do I do with a glass patio tabletop?
Remove it from the frame. For bulk pickup, tape the surface in a grid, mark it 'glass,' and lean it securely, or box it. Intact tempered glass tops are also easy to give away because replacements cost $100 or more.
Can I donate weathered patio furniture?
Donation programs want pieces without rust, brittleness, or mildew. Weathered teak and cast aluminum are accepted and resold; faded plastic and frayed resin wicker usually are not. Free listings are more forgiving.
