Before You Go: 5 Things That Get People Turned Away
Every one of these catches somebody every week.
Every county only takes its own trash
A Calabash homeowner can’t run a load to the Horry County landfill, and a Myrtle Beach resident can’t use Brunswick County’s sites. You dump in the county the junk came from.
City limits can lock you out
Horry County’s 25 recycling & convenience centers are only for residents of unincorporated Horry County. Live inside Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway or another town? You’ll need the landfill or your city’s bulk pickup.
There’s a daily volume cap
Horry County convenience centers cap you at 4 cubic yards a day. For scale: one of our trailer loads holds 14.5 cubic yards — more than three days of trips.
Paint & chemicals run on their own schedule
They don’t go in with regular junk, and the hazardous-waste drop-offs keep short hours and monthly limits.
Nobody helps you unload
At most sites you lift, carry and sort everything yourself — couches, mattresses, appliances and all.
Or skip all five
We haul furniture, appliances, mattresses, tires, paint and full cleanouts across all five counties — and we know which site takes what. See your price →
