Solid Waste services contribute to a safe and healthy living environment
in the community by collecting and disposing of solid waste in a
timely manner. Residential collection services include twice a week
curbside collection of containerized refuse and once a week pickup
of yard debris, manmade and metal materials. All refuse and materials
picked up are packed into packer trucks or transfer trailers for
transport to the Charleston County Bees Ferry Landfill facility.
Currently, the Solid Waste Department serves over 9,000 homes and
businesses on James Island.
The Solid Waste Department runs an efficient operation with a fleet
of 21 vehicles, which includes 6 packer trucks, 2 Knucklebooms (crane
type vehicles), 4 transfer trucks with 6 trailers, 3 front end loaders,
1 dump truck and 3 pickup trucks. This department employs 28 full-time
and part-time employees.
