How this ranking works. Ordered by Index Score, out of 100: review volume 35, rating 25, published pricing 25, contactability 15. Publishing your rates moves you up, and that is the only way up. We don't sell placement. Distances are from each company's listed address, and service areas aren't confirmed with owners, so call to check they cover you. Full method.
How to read the Charleston list
Two of the 19 are based in Charleston itself and the other 17 run out to it from nearby towns. On rating alone it is Liberty Containers of The Lowcountry at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is CAROLINA WASTE & RECYCLING LLC, with 1,653 reviews. Three of the 19 publish a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.
How much does a dumpster cost in Charleston, SC?
Updated regularly. Based on 12 published prices from 3 of the 19 companies serving Charleston.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $425 | $375 to $450 | ask | 4 days | 3 |
| 15 yard | $475 | $450 to $475 | ask | 4 days | 3 |
| 20 yard | $500 | $450 to $500 | ask | 4 days | 3 |
Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.
These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. A published rate covers the container and the haul and little else. Overage, permits and extra days are billed separately, so treat these as a floor, not a quote.

| 20 yard | Roofing tear-off, whole-home cleanout, small construction |

What the Charleston dumpster market looks like
The 10-yard quotes here run from $375 at New Age Dumpsters up to $450 at Liberty Containers of The Lowcountry. That is $75 of daylight between two companies covering the same town.
2 of the 19 are based in Charleston itself. The others run in from as far as 24 miles out, which is fine for a drop but tells you who is closest when a swap-out goes sideways.
CAROLINA WASTE & RECYCLING LLC is the most reviewed company serving Charleston, with 1,653 of the 3,840 reviews on this page and a 3.8 rating.
3 of the 19 publish a price you can read without calling. That is 16% of the Charleston market, and the quiet ones are not automatically dearer.
A 20-yard runs $500 in the middle here against $385 across South Carolina, so Charleston prices 30% above the state. Tipping fees and haul distance are usually what is behind a gap like that.
The sizes this town actually stocks are the 10-yard, the 15-yard, the 20-yard, and the 30-yard. Anything outside that is a special order somebody has to drive in.
Liberty Containers of The Lowcountry holds the best rating serving Charleston at 5.0 from 263 reviews. The bottom of this page sits at 2.9, so read the row before you dial.
The usual rental window quoted around Charleston is 4 days. Dumpster Dads publishes a longer one, which matters if the job slips a week.
The typical allowance quoted here is 1 tons before overage. Roofing and concrete blow through that faster than a house cleanout does.
18 of the 19 run a website you can check before calling. The other one takes the job over the phone, which is common for the smaller yards and says nothing about the work.
CAROLINA WASTE & RECYCLING LLC carries 43% of every review on this page. One company that visible usually means the rest are competing on price to get looked at.
The cheapest published anything in Charleston is a 10-yard at $375, from New Age Dumpsters. That is the floor on this page, not the price of the size you probably need.

- How do Charleston dumpster prices compare to the rest of South Carolina?
- The median published 20-yard price in Charleston is $500, 30% above the $385 median across South Carolina. Tipping fees are set by the landfill, not the hauler, so prices can step up sharply across a county line for no visible reason.
- What are dumpster prices by size in Charleston?
- In Charleston: a 10-yard runs a median of $425 (3 companies), a 15-yard runs a median of $475 (3 companies). The gap in price between sizes is smaller than the gap in what they hold, so the larger container is usually the better value per yard.

- The most common listed rental period among Charleston companies is 7 days, from the 8 that publish one. Extra days are usually billed at a daily rate. Most companies will collect early at no extra charge, so book the shorter period and call when you finish.
- Do I have to use a company from outside Charleston?
- 2 of the 19 companies we list are based in Charleston itself; the rest are within 25 miles and typically serve it. Staying local can buy you same-day delivery and an easier callback when the job overruns, which is worth more on a tight schedule than a small difference in the base rate.
