YARD WASTE COLLECTION
Yard waste can be bagged and left by the side of the road (preferably in your roll cart). If you have more than five bags or a pile of limbs and/or brush, please call Public Works at 843-665-3236 to schedule collection of large yard waste. Limbs and brush must be cut to no longer than 4ft lengths and be no more than 3ft diameter (cross-section), and yard waste piles must placed at least 5ft from power poles and mailboxes, or it will not be collected.
