What the South Carolina numbers say

South Carolina has 129 independently owned haulers on this index across 50 towns we cover. They are spread reasonably evenly instead of piling into one metro, so most towns here have a genuine choice rather than a single yard that covers everything. The best-sampled size here is the 15 yard, priced by 30 haulers at a median of $347. Published prices here cover the 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard. For any other size, call for a quote.

A 20-yard is the size most people rent, and in South Carolina it runs a median of $385, with most companies between $350 and $469. That is 8% below the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal: haulers pay a landfill by the ton and those gate rates are local, so two companies an hour apart can quote very differently for the same container.

Dumpster rental in South Carolina: common questions

How much does a dumpster cost in South Carolina?
A 20-yard dumpster in South Carolina has a median published price of $385, with most companies between $350 and $469. That is 8% below the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal cost. Haulers pay a landfill by the ton, and that gate rate varies more than anything else in the price.
How many dumpster rental companies are there in South Carolina?
We list 129 independently owned companies across 50 towns in South Carolina. National carriers and brokers are excluded, so this is the local operator market, not the whole industry.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in SC?
On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.
What size dumpster should I rent in South Carolina?
Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard and 30 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.
