Solid Waste Division

Collection schedules and 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.  Put yard waste in bags or other containers, but do not mix yard waste with household refuse.  The Solid Waste Division also operates a solid waste transfer station on Mr. Joe White Avenue.  For more information, call (843) 918-2160.

RECYCLING:  Blue Bins and Rollout Carts

Myrtle Beach provides free, reusable blue bins for recycling to its residential customers.  If you don't have a blue bin, call 843-918-2160 to request one.  Customers who recycle large quantities or who prefer the convenience of a rollout cart may purchase a 48 gallon recycling container for $30.  Again, call the Solid Waste Division at 918-2160 for details.

Do not separate or bag recyclables.  Simply place clean recycling materials into the blue bin or rollout cart, and then place the bin or cart on the curb on your regular collection day.  Sorting is accomplished at the Solid Waste Authority’s Material Recycling Facility.  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.  (Shredded paper should be placed in a clear plastic bag, then placed into the bin.  Otherwise, do not sort, separate or bag any items.)  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.
