Bulk pickup Bulk trash pickup in Hanahan

Curbside pickup by day

Hanahan Public Works runs collection itself, and the City doesn't mention a contractor. Bulk pickup is citywide and sorted by day.

The City doesn't describe any booking step or fee for bulk pickup. If you have a large load or a question, call Public Works at (843) 529-3413. The office is at 1103 Williams Lane.

Pro tip if you rent out a home in Hanahan, the cleanup is yours. The City says property owners are responsible for disposing of items tenants leave behind.

What Hanahan won't take at the curb

The City won't collect building materials (lumber, siding, doors, windows, cabinets, roofing, flooring), auto parts, pallets, flammables, oils, chemicals, paint, liquids, tires, batteries, dirt, sand, gravel or blocks, pressurized cylinders, central AC units, contractor-generated waste or loose waste.

Yard debris

Put yard debris in City containers, 32-gallon cans with lids, or paper bags. Limbs can be up to 4 inches across and 4 feet long, and the limit is 3 cubic yards per collection. Removing a whole tree needs a permit from Building and Codes, and the owner has to dispose of all of it. The City won't collect it.

The Luken Road convenience center

For what the curb won't take, use the Luken Road convenience center at 275 Luken Rd., Hanahan. The City runs it with Berkeley County, and you'll need a Berkeley County photo ID.

• Takes: construction debris, tires, paint cans, oil, recycling, appliances, batteries, yard debris and furniture, per the City's page.
• Hours: the City lists 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday to Saturday, closed Thursdays. Berkeley County's Recycling page lists Saturday as 7 AM to 7 PM, while another county hours page says 6 PM. Call Berkeley County Water & Sanitation at (843) 572-4400 before a late Saturday trip.
• Not here: cooking oil, which every other Berkeley County center takes. Carpet padding and foam go to the Oakley Road or Charity Church centers.
• Ended: the old third-Saturday construction debris container event no longer runs.

There's one more mismatch to know about. The City's page lists paint cans at Luken Road, but Berkeley County says it has no paint recycling program and tells residents to harden leftover paint and put it in the trash. Call (843) 572-4400 before you bring liquid paint. More on all 10 centers in Berkeley County convenience centers and landfill, and see paint disposal in Charleston.

When to hire a crew

Monday and Tuesday pickup covers most household junk. A junk removal crew makes sense when the item is too heavy to get to the curb, or when you're clearing building materials the City won't take. See what junk removal costs.
