Berkeley County Landfill is the large county landfill just off US-52 in Moncks Corner, used by residents and commercial haulers who need a final-destination dump site. Trucks of every size pull in here from around the area, from pickup loads to larger commercial deliveries.
There’s a weigh scale up front and fees are charged by weight, so expect to stop at the scale and likely stop again on the way out for the outbound weight. A small entrance booth and drive lanes lead back to the working face where material is buried; the site looks like any active landfill - compactors, dirt berms and long rows of covered cells. Traffic can back up on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, and commercial trucks are commonly seen alongside residential vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of county residency if hauling a residential load-many county facilities ask for it for residential discounts or access.
- Secure and tarp loads before pulling in; loose material blowing off a truck can mean extra stops and delays once on site.
- Avoid midday weekends if possible-early weekday mornings are usually quicker for dropping off a load and getting through the scale.
