What we cannot collect…

Engine Parts

• Tires
• Batteries
• Wet Paint
• Tree Stumps

• Contractor generated debris from construction, demolition, remodeling, or landscaping (these materials should be hauled away by your contractor and disposed of properly).

• COMPACT FLORESCENT LIGHTBULB (CFL) DISPOSAL - These bulbs may NOT be disposed of in your garbage or trash due to mercury contamination issues. Although beneficial, CFL's do contain a small amount of mercury, which is hazardous to humans and the environment. Disposing of CFL's correctly is crucial. Charleston County recycles CFL light bulbs, and residents can bring their old CFL light bulbs to one of the eight Convenience Centers located throughout the County that accepts CFL's.

• Propane Tank Disposal
- Trade it in Where You Purchased It
- Bring it to a Local Village Hazardous Waste Collection Day
- Not in Your Garbage Cart
