Barnwell County Solid Waste sits out on SC‑3 just outside of town and is the spot locals use for household trash, yard clippings and the odd load from a cleanout. Folks from Barnwell and nearby areas swing by when a truck or trailer needs emptying.
Pull up to a small entrance area with a booth and a drive lane leading into the site; plan to slow down and sort where directed. There’s usually a scale nearby, so expect to stop there either coming in or leaving. Drop-off points are grouped by material, with piles and containers visible from the drive lanes. Busy times stack up-watch for trailers lining up and leave room to maneuver larger loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and cover loose debris before hauling it - loose leaves and dirt make a mess and slow unloading.
- Pre-sort metal, brush and recyclables in the truck so dumping goes faster and you don’t have to shuffle items at the pit.
- Avoid the peak weekend rush if possible; an early weekday trip will save time if moving big items or multiple loads.
