North Charleston is its own incorporated city, established in 1972.⁠¹ It spans a county line. The 2020 Census counts 86,510 residents in the Charleston County part and 28,342 in the Dorchester County part, about a quarter of residents.⁠² We serve both sides.

Street or driveway

On your driveway or other private property, a dumpster usually needs no permit. A City street is different.

North Charleston requires a City encroachment permit for work in City road rights-of-way. Applications go to Public Works at 5800 Casper Padgett Way, (843) 745-1026.⁠³ The application has no dumpster category and lists no fee.⁠⁴ Call and ask whether your dumpster needs it before it goes on the street, not after.

Many roads in North Charleston are under SCDOT jurisdiction. Work on those needs an SCDOT encroachment permit, not a City one.⁠⁵ Look up your road on SCDOT’s free Street Finder at ris.scdot.org.⁠⁶ SCDOT charges no fee for its encroachment permit.⁠⁷

One more office. Zoning handles a separate Portable Temporary Storage Unit Permit at (843) 740-2581. That page does not say whether roll-off dumpsters fall under it.⁠⁸ Ask.

Near the Charleston line? Check which city your parcel is in. In the City of Charleston, a dumpster on a public street, sidewalk or alley needs a dumpster permit first, and its Department of Traffic and Transportation issues them.⁠⁹

If a permit is needed, you get it. We do not apply for permits. The North Charleston dumpster permit page has the full breakdown.

One dumpster per parcel

In single-family residential settings, North Charleston Code Sec. 9-67(7)(a) makes more than one dumpster and one portable toilet on a parcel a nuisance.⁠¹⁰ Need more room? Book an additional haul for $300 instead of a second box.

Sec. 9-67(7)(b) puts a clock on construction-related dumpsters in single-family residential areas. More than 90 days for repair or remodeling, or more than 270 days for new construction, within a rolling 364-day period, is a nuisance.⁠¹¹

Your rental is 7 days. A long remodel with repeat hauls is where that clock matters.

What city pickup will not take

The city collects at most 90 gallons of building materials per pickup. Bulk trash goes out in separate piles by category, and mixed piles are not collected.⁠¹²

The city does not collect roofing shingles. It does not collect trash generated by contractors, landscapers, businesses, or other non-residential sources either.⁠¹³

That is the gap a 15-yard roll-off fills. Shingles go in. So does remodel debris. Check what can go in a dumpster before you load.

Jobs we haul in North Charleston

• Roof tear-offs. The city does not collect shingles.⁠¹³ They are heavy, and heavy materials may need a reduced fill.
• Kitchen and bath remodels. The city takes 90 gallons of building materials per pickup, at most.⁠¹² A gut job runs far past that.
• House cleanouts. The curb wants separate piles by category.⁠¹² The box takes it mixed. Keep the banned items out.
• Storm debris. The city’s Hurricane Guide sorts storm debris into “Don’t C.H.E.A.T. the environment” categories and wants piles curbside within 15 feet of the road.⁠¹⁴ Hired a crew for the repairs? The city does not collect trash generated by contractors.⁠¹³
