Every route for a toilet or bathtub in Greenville, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Greenville guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Greenville, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Greenville bulk waste and large item collection: toilets, bathtubs, and sinks
Free, with a step firstA single toilet or sink from your home is usually taken as bulk; confirm when you call. Remodel loads are debris.
Who qualifies: Households inside the City of Greenville with city Solid Waste collection. Unincorporated Greenville County is served by Greater Greenville Sanitation, which schedules its own bulk pickups.
How to schedule: The city collects bulk waste and old appliances on request. Call Public Works Solid Waste at 864-467-8300 to schedule, and confirm what the crew will take and when to set it out. City residents can also use the Residential Waste Centers for bulky items, appliances, and electronics.
Limits: Resident-generated household items; confirm counts and any appliance fee when you call.
Set-out: At the curb on the date Public Works gives you, clear of carts and obstructions, not before.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Greenville: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering toilets, bathtubs, and sinks, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

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 toilets, bathtubs, and sinks: A single toilet or sink from your home is usually taken as bulk; confirm when you call. Remodel loads are debris.
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 toilets, bathtubs, and sinks are different from ordinary bulk. Porcelain is the sticking point. A whole toilet or pedestal sink is heavy, awkward, and shatters into sharp pieces, so many bulk crews refuse them intact. Some cities accept porcelain if it is broken into pieces and bagged or boxed; others route it to the transfer station as inert C&D material. Clean porcelain is actually recyclable as aggregate, and a growing number of regions accept it at concrete recyclers.
Three mistakes that get toilets, bathtubs, and sinks left at the curb:
When the city classifies fixtures as C&D and no scrap or donation route fits, paid options are the only legal path.
Self-haul to a transfer station or C&D recycler
$10 to $40Transfer stations accept fixtures as C&D by weight or by load. Clean porcelain is accepted at some concrete and aggregate recyclers for less. Break porcelain into bagged pieces to make it easy to handle.
Line the vehicle. Porcelain shards will cut carpet and tires.
LoadUp paid toilet or bathtub pickup

Does Greenville pick up toilets, bathtubs, and sinks for free?

Can I put an old toilet out with bulk trash?
It depends on the city. Some accept toilets and sinks with bulk pickup, some accept only broken porcelain in bags with regular trash, and many classify fixtures as construction debris and exclude them. Check the directory below for your city.
Is porcelain recyclable?
Yes, as inert aggregate. Crushed toilets and sinks become road base and fill. Some transfer stations and concrete recyclers accept clean porcelain for less than general C&D rates, and some water utilities run toilet recycling drop-offs.
How do I get a cast iron tub out of a second-floor bathroom?
Either hire scrappers or movers who handle the weight, or break it. Cover the tub with a heavy blanket, wear eye protection, gloves, and long sleeves, and strike the side near the drain with a sledgehammer; cast iron cracks into pieces that two people can carry. Clean up the enamel chips, which are sharp.
Will a ReStore take a used toilet?
Most will if it is a 1.6 gpf or lower model, uncracked, clean, and complete with tank lid and seat. Some require the WaterSense 1.28 gpf label. Older 3.5 gpf toilets are generally refused.
Is this Greenville page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Greenville guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
