The City of Charleston will change trash collection days for certain neighborhoods starting October 1, 2025. The adjustment affects only trash pickup, which includes items such as appliances, construction debris, furniture, and yard debris. Regular garbage collection days are not affected by this update.
The areas impacted by the new schedule include the Peninsula, Inner West Ashley (inside I-526, back toward the peninsula), and James Island. Residents in these neighborhoods should expect to receive a flyer attached to their roll cart that details their new pickup day.
Collection schedules for Daniel Island, Clement’s Ferry, Wando/Cainhoy, Outer West Ashley (outside I-526, back toward Hollywood & Ravenel), and Johns Island will remain unchanged.
To assist residents in confirming their updated schedule, the city has provided an online lookup tool through MAPNET. By entering their address into the system at https://www.charleston-sc.gov/346/Garbage-Collection, residents can view their new trash collection day.
An instructional video is also available to help residents prepare items properly for collection. More information about the changes and preparation guidelines can be found on the city’s website.
