SOLID WASTE
COLLECTION ZONES:
The city is divided into
four collection zones to improve solid waste services for our
residential customers. With this schedule, one zone receives complete
service each day, Monday through Thursday. All household garbage,
recycling, yard waste and bulky junk are picked up on the same day
each week. The zone system streamlines the process for the
customer, too, because all solid waste will be
placed curbside on the same day. (Click
here for holiday collection schedules.)

Zone 1 begins at the
southern end of Myrtle Beach and extends north to Third Avenue South
and Highway 501. Zone 1 includes both sides of Third
Avenue South.

Roll-out containers
must be placed at curbside by 6:00 a.m. on day of service and removed
from curbside no later than 11:00 p.m. on service day.
The Solid Waste Division also operates a solid waste transfer station
on 10th Avenue North Extension. Containerized Yard Waste
may be bagged (not to exceed 50 lbs.) or in roll-out containers. Do
not mix yard waste with household refuse. No residential solid waste
services will be provided on Friday.
For service assistance, dial (843)
918-2000.
BULKY YARD WASTE:
If you have too much bulky
waste to wait for the weekly pick up, call 918-2160, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., for a collection appointment.
RECYCLING:
Blue Bins
Due to improvements in the local recycling
process, the Horry County Solid Waste Authority and the City of
Myrtle Beach are changing to reusable blue bins for residential
recycling. Residents who currently recycle will receive a free
blue bin on their regular collection day. Other residents who
wish to recycle may call 918-2160 to request a free blue bin.
Customers who recycle large quantities or who prefer the convenience
of a rollout cart may purchase a 48 gallon recycling container for
$50. Contact the city’s Solid Waste Division at 918-2160 for
more information.
Do not separate or bag recyclables.
Simply place clean recycling materials into the blue bin, and then
place the bin on the curb on your regular collection day.
Sorting is accomplished at the Solid Waste Authority’s new Material
Recycling Facility on Highway 90. (Note: Shredded paper
should be placed in a clear plastic bag, then placed into the bin.
Otherwise, do not sort, separate or bag any items.) Recyclable
materials include aluminum, steel, tin and aerosol cans; glass jars
and bottles of any color; plastic jugs, bottles and containers;
cardboard and paperboard; newspapers, magazines and junk mail.
Materials that cannot be accepted include sheet glass,
mirrors, light bulbs, ceramic items and wax-coated boxes. The
blue bins are for recycling materials only. Non-recyclable items
will be considered contamination and will cause the bins not to be
emptied.
BULKY JUNK ITEMS: Furniture, appliances and miscellaneous items
Call 918-2160, Monday
through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., for a collection appointment.
SERVICE REQUESTS:
For general information,
new service requests, containers, complaints or special services, call
918-2160, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
