Dumpster Rental in Downtown Charleston, SC

Dropping a dumpster on the historic peninsula takes a crew that knows the streets. We place it to fit, handle the permit if it sits on the road, and pick it up when you're done.

  • Delivery included
  • 1 to 30 day rentals
  • Open 7 days
Family-owned & local

Downtown Charleston is the trickiest place in the area to drop a dumpster, and it's where knowing the streets pays off. The peninsula's historic blocks sit close together, and on a lot of them you can barely fit a car between the houses.

We place the can to fit the space, and a 22-yard is about as big as makes sense between two downtown houses. If it has to sit on the street, the city may want a permit. Tell us the address and we'll sort out placement before we roll up.

We're out across Downtown Charleston regularly, from South of Broad, Harleston Village, and Cannonborough-Elliotborough.

In Downtown Charleston, in short

  • Sizes: 7, 13, 17, and 22-yard roll-offs, plus a flatbed.
  • Included: delivery, pickup, and disposal.
  • Heavy loads: concrete, dirt, and roofing go in the 7-yard.
  • Reach: Downtown Charleston is part of our roughly 40-mile area out of James Island.
  • Book it: order online, or call or text Tony at (843) 800-0689.
What we rent

What we rent in Downtown Charleston

Downtown work is mostly interior. Kitchen and bath renovations, plaster and lath coming out, and clear-outs in houses that have been in a family a long time. Those go in a residential rental. Trades working the historic district use commercial cans and swap them as the job moves room to room.

Old houses produce heavy debris in small volumes, which is worth knowing before you pick a size. Garden and courtyard trimmings go in a yard-waste dumpster, and an estate clear-out is usually a junk-removal rental held for a few days.

On the ground

Dumpster Placement in Downtown Charleston

Downtown is the most constrained placement in the Lowcountry, and it pays to plan before the truck rolls. Many properties have no driveway at all, streets are narrow, and cars parked along both sides leave a tight lane. Where a can can physically and legally sit is the first question here, not the last.

If there's no private space for it, a container on the street may be the answer, and the city sometimes requires a permit for that in the historic district. Our permit page covers when you need one. Work down here is almost entirely interior: single-room demo, renovation on older buildings, and clearing a property between tenants.

Local & family-owned

Why Downtown Charleston goes with Family Trash

You are dealing with a local family business, not a dispatcher in another state. Tony runs the trucks and answers his own phone. Downtown is the one place where where the can goes has to be settled before the truck leaves, and it is easier to sort that out with the person who will be driving it. More about Family Trash.

Good to know

Downtown Charleston dumpster rental FAQ

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Downtown Charleston?

In Downtown Charleston, putting a can in the street or right-of-way usually means a permit from the city, so the driveway is the easy option. If it has to sit in the street, check with the city first, and keep it on your own property clear of the sidewalk otherwise.

Where should the dumpster go on my Downtown Charleston property?

In Downtown Charleston the lots sit close together and the streets are tight, so the driveway is usually the spot. If it has to go in the street, the city may want a permit first.

How far ahead should I book a dumpster in Downtown Charleston?

A day or two of notice helps us fit your Downtown Charleston drop into the route, but it is worth a call either way. Tell us your spot and date and we will let you know the soonest we can get one there.

How much does a dumpster cost in Downtown Charleston, SC?

Your Downtown Charleston price depends on the size you pick and how long you keep it, not on your address. It is one flat price with delivery, pickup, and disposal included, and you see it before you book. Here is how pricing works.

Can you swap a full dumpster for an empty one in Downtown Charleston?
