Colleton County Solid Waste Offices and Landfill

Colleton County Solid Waste Offices and Landfill is the county landfill out on Green Pond Hwy in Walterboro, used by residents hauling household trash and by trucks bringing larger loads. It’s the place where trash is buried rather than recycled or transferred, so expect a working landfill environment rather than a tidy drop-off center.

Drive up a short access road to a scale and a small entrance booth where vehicles are routed in and out; loads are typically weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight. After the scale, vehicles head to the active tipping area or cells where material is dumped and compacted; the site looks industrial - dirt roads, heavy equipment, and mounded cells. Lines can form at busy times, so there’s often a bit of queuing space before the booth and near the scale. The footprint is large compared with convenience centers, so allow extra minutes to maneuver and unload.
