Darlington County Dump is the county-run dump off W Smith Ave that local homeowners and small haulers use for regular trash drop-offs and cleanup runs. It’s the place neighbors go when household junk, yard debris, or a truckload from a remodel needs to be disposed of. Expect a working, no-frills county facility rather than a tidy retail-style center.
There’s typically an entrance gate or booth where vehicles pause before heading onto the site, and a pull-up area for checking in or directing traffic. The grounds are open and functional - piles, roll-offs, and heavy equipment are visible from the drive in. Many county dumps operate with a scale and charge by weight, so be prepared to stop and possibly turnaround for a weigh station on the way out. Weekend mornings and the weeks after storms get noticeably busier, so lines can form at the entrance.
