Orangeburg County Landfill is the county-run place where garbage gets buried - used by residents and haulers from around Orangeburg. It’s the kind of spot people bring full truck beds, trailers, or commercial loads when the curbside pickup won't handle it.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to pull onto a scale; county landfills typically charge by weight so there’s usually a weigh-in and a weigh-out. The tipping area is big - large mounds, compactors, and open cells - with traffic lanes for trucks to back into the dumping area. Recycle or drop-off bins are often off to one side, and lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup and hurricane prep season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have the load secure and easy to unload before getting to the top of the scale so trucks move through faster.
- Bring a tarp or straps to cover loose loads while driving; loose debris on the highway draws attention and slows things down.
- Expect slow times on weekends and before storms; aim for a weekday morning if possible to avoid the longest lines.
