Colleton County Solid Waste
13464 Augusta Hwy, Walterboro, SC 29488
(843) 538-5863Colleton County Solid Waste in Walterboro is the county-run spot locals use for household trash, recyclables and yard debris. People from around Colleton County swing by with pickups, trailers or a carload when doing cleanups or storm prep.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up flow where larger vehicles pull up to be weighed before dumping and then stop again on the way out. The place feels like a working yard - roll-off containers, piles of brush and a few recycling bins set off to one side. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so expect a line of trucks waiting to pull through. Bring everything reasonably sorted; that makes the drop-off quicker and keeps the line moving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp or straps so branches and debris don’t blow out while waiting in line.
- Separate recyclables and yard waste from general trash before getting to the booth to avoid back-and-forth at the bins.
- Pick a weekday or early morning if possible-weekend afternoons are the busiest and lines can be long during seasonal cleanups.
