Dump
New Ellenton Dump
2104 Williston Rd, Aiken, SC 29803
A small-town dump just off Williston Road in Aiken, used by local households and small haulers looking to get rid of regular trash and bulky items. The site is the kind of place people in the area swing by during yard cleanups or before moving out of a house.
Pull into a drive that leads to an entrance area where vehicles line up before getting to the unloading spots. The site looks rough and functional-open tipping areas, large compacted piles, and a few roll-off containers or bays. It’s not polished; expect dust or mud depending on the weather and a lot of trucks and trailers on busy days. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so queues can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads and cover loose debris with a tarp so nothing blows out while driving to the site.
- Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, and a helper for heavy or awkward items; the drop zones can be uneven and require manual handling.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings or known community cleanup periods if a quicker trip is preferred, since lines build up then.
