Homes inside the town limits

About 13,900 housing units. About 6 in 10 were built in 2010 or later, and the median year built is 2012 (as of 2024). That leaves roughly 5,400 older homes.

Weekly cart

The Town’s curbside service uses a 96-gallon cart, and construction waste is not accepted in it. Remodel debris needs a dumpster or the county center.

County drop-off

Beaufort County Convenience Center, 104 Simmonsville Rd. Open 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Wednesdays and county holidays. Trailers up to 5 by 8 feet. Small amounts of residential construction debris are taken here.

Business waste

The county centers are for residents. A business or contractor hires a private hauler.

Street or right-of-way

A dumpster on the street or the right-of-way may need a permit: the Town of Bluffton at 20 Bridge Street, (843) 706-4500, or SCDOT on a state road.

County landfill

Hickory Hill Landfill, 2621 Lowcountry Drive in Ridgeland.

After a hurricane

After Irma in 2017, curbside pickup stopped and the county opened a debris site at 651 Pinckney Colony Road in Bluffton, free for residential quantities and closed to commercial vehicles.

Curry Disposal matches the jobs to sizes: a 15-yard for a roofing tear-off or a deck removal, a 20-yard for an attic, basement or garage clean-out or a kitchen or bath remodel, a 30-yard for a larger renovation, and a 40-yard for big construction and demolition. Camo Cans rents 15, 20 and 30 yards, VaVia 10, 15 and 30, and Omni 15 to 40. VaVia calls its 10-yard the one for heavy material such as concrete; for a concrete tear-out, ask the dumpster company what it allows.

Bluffton’s houses tilt young: about 6 in 10 inside the town limits were built in 2010 or later, so many houses are reaching their first roof, kitchen or bath update, and residential dumpster rentals in Bluffton, SC are mostly a 15- or 20-yard roll off dumpster for a garage clean-out or a roof. Ask each Bluffton dumpster rental company about the rental period, the weight limit and the charge for going over it. If you are unsure, Curry Disposal will swap you to a bigger size or bring a second dumpster. For a load hauled away without a dumpster, see junk removal in Bluffton.

A dumpster in your own driveway usually needs no permit; Curry Disposal says the same and drops most of them there. One that has to sit in the street or the right-of-way may. Inside the town limits, ask the Town of Bluffton at 20 Bridge Street, (843) 706-4500; on a state road, the permit comes from SCDOT, and a lot of Bluffton’s streets, including US 278 and SC 46, are state roads.

Most Bluffton neighborhoods have an owners’ association with its own rules. Ask yours before you book, whether you live in Sun City Hilton Head, Hampton Hall, Hampton Lake, Belfair or Palmetto Bluff: some limit how long a dumpster can sit in a driveway, ask for approval first or need gate details for the driver. VaVia and Camo Cans put boards down to protect the driveway.

The weekly cart takes household trash only. The Town’s curbside service uses a 96-gallon cart and does not take construction waste, so a remodel, a roof or an estate clean-out does not fit in it. The county center on Simmonsville Road takes small amounts of residential construction debris, bulky items and yard waste at no charge to residents with a decal, but only in a car or a trailer up to 5 by 8 feet, and it is closed Wednesdays. Owners get the decal, one per household; renters ask the landlord. See the trash and recycling guide for the decal and the Bluffton utilities guide for who picks up at your address.

Past a few trips, a dumpster is easier. A contractor or a business cannot use the county centers at all and must hire a private hauler. The county’s landfill is Hickory Hill, 2621 Lowcountry Drive in Ridgeland.

Okatie is the west end of ZIP 29909, next to Sun City Hilton Head, and the companies above that deliver in Bluffton deliver there. Camo Cans, Curry Disposal and VaVia list Okatie among the towns they serve, and Omni Waste & Recycling’s office on State Road S-7-50 is in ZIP 29909 itself, 3.7 miles from Sun City; its Hardeeville page lists Okatie as part of its service area. From the other offices it is about 7.2 miles (Camo Cans), 8.9 miles (Curry Disposal) and 14.2 miles (VaVia) to Sun City, so ask whether delivery to Okatie costs extra.

For a home in Okatie, a 15- or 20-yard roll-off dumpster covers most clean-outs and roofs (see what size to get). For a business or a building site, see commercial dumpster rental below. Sun City and most other communities have their own rules on dumpsters in driveways and on the street; ask your association before booking.

A business cannot use the county convenience centers and has to hire a private hauler. Omni Waste & Recycling serves commercial and residential customers in Beaufort and Jasper counties, rents 15- to 40-yard roll-offs (its 30- and 40-yard sizes are the ones it lists for commercial projects) and also offers front-load dumpsters. Curry Disposal says it supplies roll-off dumpsters to builders and contractors, and names commercial builds along the I-95 corridor in Hardeeville among its jobs.

For regular pickup at a store, restaurant or office rather than a one-time roll-off, ask for a contract with a set pickup schedule. WM has a Lowcountry Hauling office on Speedway Boulevard, and Waste Pro has one on Hardeeville Industrial Park Road in Hardeeville; ask either what it offers a business your size.

Hardeeville. Curry Disposal is the one company on this page with its yard in Hardeeville, on Speedway Boulevard, about 5 miles from Hardeeville City Hall. Its website names Latitude Margaritaville and commercial builds along I-95 among its Hardeeville deliveries. Omni Waste & Recycling has a Hardeeville page that says it serves downtown Hardeeville, Okatie, Purrysburg and sites along I-95, 11 miles from its Bluffton office to City Hall; VaVia also lists Hardeeville. Any of the three will rent you a Hardeeville roll off dumpster in the 15- to 40-yard sizes above; ask Curry or Omni about same-day delivery.

Ridgeland. Omni Waste & Recycling has a Ridgeland page covering Ridgeland, Gillisonville, Coosawhatchie, Switzerland and the rest of Jasper County (about 15 miles from its Bluffton office to Ridgeland Town Hall). Curry Disposal and VaVia also list Ridgeland, and Curry names courthouse-district renovations and rural clean-outs along I-95 there. A Ridgeland home is about 20 miles from Curry’s yard, so ask about the delivery fee.

Jasper County drop-off. Jasper County runs six drop-off centers (Haphazard, Toomerville, Roseland, Robertville, Grays and Coosawhatchie) that take household garbage, construction and demolition debris, yard trimmings and white goods. They are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday, closed Wednesdays and Sundays, and contractors are not allowed to use them, so a renovation by a hired crew needs a dumpster. For Bluffton, see the Beaufort County center above; for a small cleanout the same junk removal companies take it away.

After Hurricane Irma in September 2017 there was no curbside pickup for a time, and Beaufort County opened a debris site at 651 Pinckney Colony Road in Bluffton. It was free for residential quantities and closed to commercial vehicles. If a storm leaves a roof or a fence to clear, book a dumpster early. See tree service in Bluffton for downed limbs.

Curry Disposal says general household junk, furniture, yard debris and remodel waste are fine, but paint, tires, batteries and chemicals need special handling. VaVia also lists fuels and oils, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, asbestos, propane tanks, televisions and computers, and appliances with freon. Ask each company for its list before you fill the dumpster.

Camo Cans lists its dumpsters at $465 for 15 yards, $500 for 20 and $545 for 30, with delivery, pickup, disposal, driveway protection and up to 7 days included, and a weight limit of 2, 3 or 4 tons by size (its website, October 2026). Curry Disposal, VaVia and Omni quote by the job. Price depends on size, the rental period and the weight, so ask each for a quote with delivery, pickup and disposal included. If you are moving rather than clearing out, see movers in Bluffton; for the other trades, see home services in Bluffton.
