Regional Specialty Waste & Disposal Resource: HHW + Electronics + Bulk — Horry County SWA Highway 90 Campus — Myrtle Beach / Horry County, SC
Regional specialty-waste and disposal guidance for apartment residents
and property managers dealing with
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW),
covered electronics,
mattresses,
furniture,
and other materials requiring a separate disposal pathway.
South Carolina law separately restricts covered electronic devices from knowingly
entering a waste stream that will be disposed of in a solid-waste landfill.
Horry County Solid Waste Authority (SWA) also operates distinct residential,
landfill, recycling, and HHW programs with different eligibility requirements,
schedules, and material rules.
[1]
[7]
Primary SWA campus:
Horry County Solid Waste Authority — 1886 Hwy 90, Conway, SC 29526
.
[3]
Unincorporated Horry County:
SWA states that its network of
25 Recycling Convenience Centers is for residents of unincorporated Horry County,
subject to current site rules and limits.
[4]
Inside an incorporated municipality:
residents of Myrtle Beach, Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach,
and other municipalities should follow the waste and recycling procedures
published by their municipality rather than assuming access to the
unincorporated County convenience-center network.
[5]
Property-manager takeaway:
verify the exact parcel jurisdiction before directing apartment residents
to an SWA facility or municipal program.
Highway 90 Campus: Separate Operations, Separate Hours
- SWA Campus: 1886 Hwy 90, Conway, SC 29526 [3]
- Landfill Hours: Monday–Friday 6:00 AM–4:30 PM; Saturday 6:00 AM–12:00 PM [3]
- HHW Drop-Off Hours: Tuesday & Thursday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM; Saturday 7:00 AM–12:00 PM [3] [6]
- HHW Eligibility: Residential HHW only; contractors and contractor vehicles are not accepted [5]
- Paint Limit: Maximum 20 gallons of paint per resident per month under current SWA HHW guidance [3]
Important: the landfill, the Landfill Recycling & Convenience Center, and the Household Hazardous Waste Facility are different operations even though they are located on the same Highway 90 campus. Always use the hours and eligibility rules for the specific service needed.
Household Hazardous Waste: SWA's Permanent HHW Facility
Published HHW schedule:
Horry County SWA accepts qualifying residential Household Hazardous Waste
during its specifically published HHW hours:
Tuesday and Thursday, 8:00 AM–1:00 PM,
and Saturday, 7:00 AM–12:00 PM.
[3]
[6]
Examples:
SWA currently identifies materials including acids/bases,
aerosols, antifreeze, batteries, brake fluids, corrosives,
fuel/gasoline, household cleaners, kerosene, paint,
pesticides, poisons, pool chemicals, solvents,
thinners, and other qualifying household hazardous materials.
[3]
Residential only:
the HHW program is for residential material.
Contractors and contractor vehicles are not accepted.
[5]
Paint:
SWA currently limits residents to
20 gallons of paint per month.
[3]
Excluded materials:
SWA identifies materials such as
explosives, medical waste, and radioactive waste
as outside the ordinary residential HHW acceptance program.
[3]
Electronics Compliance: South Carolina Covered-Device Rule
State-law requirement:
S.C. Code §48-60-90 provides that a consumer may not knowingly place
or discard a covered device or covered-device subassembly into a waste
stream that will be disposed of in a solid-waste landfill.
[1]
[7]
Covered residential devices generally include:
computers, computer monitors, printers, and televisions.
[1]
Unincorporated Horry County residents:
SWA currently directs qualifying residents to its Recycling Centers
for covered residential electronics such as TVs, computer CPUs,
monitors, and printers.
[5]
Municipal residents:
residents inside incorporated municipalities should follow the
electronics-disposal guidance issued by their municipality.
Do not assume the unincorporated SWA convenience-center program applies.
For City of Myrtle Beach residents, the City currently identifies
the Jake Abraham Transfer Station, 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue,
as a drop-off option for computers and televisions.
[8]
The City also directs residents to contact the Solid Waste Division regarding
certain computer and television pickup questions.
Property-manager action:
confirm current City eligibility, hours, quantity restrictions,
and multifamily/commercial procedures before publishing resident instructions.
City of Myrtle Beach — Jake Abraham Transfer Station
Bulk Furniture & Mattresses: Routing Depends on Jurisdiction
Unincorporated Horry County:
SWA's current material guidance directs eligible unincorporated residents
to SWA Recycling Convenience Centers for qualifying broken furniture,
mattresses, and similar residential bulk material.
[5]
Inside a municipality:
Myrtle Beach, Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach,
and other municipal residents should follow their municipality's
current bulky-item collection or disposal instructions.
[5]
Business / commercially handled material:
SWA's current mattress guidance directs businesses to the landfill.
Property management, maintenance vendors, contractors, and commercial
service providers should follow the applicable commercial disposal pathway
rather than assuming resident convenience-center eligibility.
[5]
Apartment operational rule:
do not treat a full dumpster as authorization to place mattresses,
sofas, or other bulky items beside the enclosure.
Use the property's approved bulk procedure and authorized hauler/disposal provider.
Unincorporated Horry County: 25 SWA Recycling Convenience Centers
Eligibility:
SWA states that only residents living in
unincorporated areas of Horry County
may use the 25 SWA Recycling Convenience Centers.
[4]
Daily quantity limit:
eligible residents are limited to
4 cubic yards per day
at the convenience centers under current SWA guidance.
[4]
General operating hours:
SWA generally lists
7:00 AM–6:00 PM Monday–Saturday
and 1:00 PM–6:00 PM Sunday.
Individual centers have specific closure days and some may have modified schedules,
so residents should always check the current SWA center chart before visiting.
[4]
- Socastee Convenience Center: 4670 Jones Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. SWA currently identifies this location as open every day, subject to the published operating schedule. [4]
- Carolina Forest Convenience Center: 800 International Dr, Myrtle Beach, SC 29579. SWA's current chart identifies a weekly closure day; verify the current schedule before visiting. [4]
Do not automatically direct municipal apartment residents to SWA convenience centers.
If the property is inside Myrtle Beach, Conway, North Myrtle Beach,
Surfside Beach, or another incorporated municipality, check the municipality's
current trash, recycling, bulk, and electronics procedures.
Property managers should document:
the municipality, ordinary trash provider, recycling provider,
bulk-item procedure, electronics pathway, HHW instructions,
collection frequency, container capacity, and any municipal pickup requirements.
Horry County / Myrtle Beach Property-Manager Checklist
- Confirm exact jurisdiction: determine whether the property is in unincorporated Horry County or an incorporated municipality before issuing disposal instructions.
- Maintain authorized ordinary trash service: identify the property's hauler, container capacity, collection schedule, overflow procedure, and bulk provider.
- Separate HHW: do not place qualifying household hazardous waste into the ordinary doorstep or dumpster stream; use the appropriate resident or commercial pathway.
- Use the correct HHW schedule: SWA's permanent HHW Facility currently accepts residential HHW Tuesday/Thursday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM–12:00 PM.
- Observe the paint limit: current SWA HHW guidance limits residents to 20 gallons of paint per month.
- Separate covered electronics: computers, monitors, printers, and televisions should not knowingly enter a landfill-bound waste stream.
- Do not use a universal electronics destination: unincorporated residents may have SWA recycling-center options; municipal residents should follow municipal guidance.
- Establish a bulk/mattress procedure: routing differs for unincorporated residents, municipal residents, and commercially handled property waste.
- Do not use resident SWA programs as the property's commercial disposal system: management, maintenance vendors, contractors, and other commercial operators should follow the property's authorized commercial pathway.
- Verify convenience-center eligibility: the 25 SWA Recycling Convenience Centers are currently designated for residents of unincorporated Horry County.
- Check the site chart before travel: convenience centers have location-specific closure days and schedules.
- Maintain documentation: retain hauler agreements, resident instructions, HHW guidance, electronics procedures, bulk-removal records, service logs, contamination notices, photographs, and illegal-dumping documentation.
How National Doorstep Helps Myrtle Beach / Horry County Property Management
Compliance is operational.
National Doorstep helps multifamily communities reduce improper resident set-outs,
contamination, overflow, loose trash, and specialty materials entering the
property's ordinary waste stream through standardized collection procedures,
resident education, documented exceptions, and property-specific disposal instructions.
National Doorstep's role:
National Doorstep operates upstream from municipal and private off-site hauling.
Authorized doorstep personnel move
approved resident-set-out material
from apartment doors to property-designated collection points on private property.
Off-site hauling, landfill disposal, recycling processing,
HHW transportation, electronics processing, bulk transport,
and specialty-material disposal remain with the applicable authorized provider.
Jurisdiction-specific resident education:
National Doorstep can help property management communicate different disposal
instructions for unincorporated Horry County residents and residents of
Myrtle Beach or another municipality.
Resident-facility limitation:
National Doorstep personnel should not aggregate apartment HHW,
electronics, bulk material, or other specialty waste and use a resident SWA
program as a substitute for the property's authorized commercial waste,
recycling, bulk, or specialty-waste provider.
No affiliation:
National Doorstep Pickup is not affiliated with Horry County,
Horry County Solid Waste Authority, the City of Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina Department of Environmental Services,
or any other valet-trash company.
Government references are informational and do not imply endorsement,
certification, partnership, or affiliation.

Myrtle Beach and Horry County apartment owners, asset managers, and on-site property managers: multifamily solid-waste requirements depend on the property's exact municipality, service classification, authorized hauler, and applicable County or municipal rules. National Doorstep's valet trash & recycling program operates upstream from off-site hauling and helps properties standardize resident set-outs, reduce loose trash and contamination, and maintain organized onsite collection areas.
Horry County maintains an established solid-waste disposal framework that includes the Horry County Solid Waste Authority (SWA), County solid-waste regulations, and a flow-control system for qualifying acceptable solid waste generated within Horry County. Municipalities within the County operate their own sanitation programs or service arrangements, so property managers should not apply unincorporated County resident programs automatically to properties inside municipal limits.
No countywide apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger was identified in the sources reviewed for this page. Municipal recycling requirements and service programs should be confirmed separately for each property.
- Protect NOI & Property Condition: reduce overflow, loose trash, illegal dumping, contamination, pest conditions, resident complaints, and avoidable cleanup costs.
- Resident-First Convenience: doorstep collection reduces after-hours trips to shared dumpsters while creating a consistent property-approved set-out process.
- Jurisdiction-Specific Operations: match trash, recycling, bulk, electronics, and specialty-waste instructions to the property's actual municipality and service provider.
- Operational Compliance Support: National Doorstep helps property management coordinate onsite doorstep operations with the property's authorized municipal, franchise, or private hauler and maintain service documentation.

Horry County Municipalities & Multifamily Property-Manager Notes
The following table is an operational screening tool. "No apartment-specific recycling mandate identified" means no unit-count multifamily recycling mandate was identified in the sources reviewed for this page; it should not be interpreted as a permanent legal conclusion.
| City / Town | Apartment Recycling Status | Relevant Property-Manager Information |
|---|---|---|
| Myrtle Beach | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
Myrtle Beach operates a City Solid Waste & Recycling program.
Published residential cart guidance requires applicable cart lids
to remain closed and prohibits excess garbage beside or on top of carts.
Property-manager priority: multifamily, resort, mixed-use, and commercial managers should confirm the property's actual City service classification, dumpster/compactor requirements, recycling service, bulk collection, electronics, and seasonal capacity needs. Contractor debris: City guidance requires landscaping/tree contractors to remove debris generated by their work. Electronics: the City currently identifies the Jake Abraham Transfer Station as an electronics resource for qualifying City residents. Official links: City Solid Waste · Transfer Station |
| Conway | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
Conway publishes City residential sanitation service,
including garbage and recycling collection.
Property-manager priority: do not assume residential cart service automatically applies to a conventional apartment property. Confirm with Conway whether the development qualifies for municipal service or requires a bulk-container/private-commercial collection arrangement. Document trash and recycling provider, container capacity, collection schedule, yard/bulk procedure, move-out protocol, and specialty-waste instructions. Official links: Conway Sanitation · Collection Routes |
| North Myrtle Beach | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
North Myrtle Beach publishes particularly useful multifamily guidance.
Current City sanitation information states that
multifamily and commercial garbage is collected using bulk containers.
Collection is arranged on an as-needed basis with the property manager/business, and applicable service may be provided by the City or a private waste hauler. The City also provides recycling options, segregates qualifying e-waste, and publishes special-collection procedures for bulky material. Contractor / specialty-material priority: contractor-generated construction material should follow the contractor's disposal responsibility. Automotive waste, hazardous materials, paint, and other excluded materials should use separate authorized pathways. Official link: North Myrtle Beach Sanitation |
| Surfside Beach | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
Surfside Beach operates a municipal sanitation program and publishes
local sanitation and ordinance information.
Property-manager priority: confirm directly with the Town whether the multifamily property is classified for municipal, commercial, dumpster, or private service; verify recycling availability, container requirements, set-out rules, bulk procedures, and collection frequency. Code-update caution: the Town itself advises that its online codification may not contain every newly adopted ordinance. Property managers should confirm current requirements with Town staff where code timing matters. Official links: Surfside Beach Sanitation · Surfside Beach Ordinances |
| Loris | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
Loris currently uses
Jordan Waste
as its contracted sanitation provider and publishes sanitation
information for residential and business customers.
Current City utility materials state that sanitation service is required within City limits. Property-manager priority: confirm the apartment property's account classification, required containers, pickup frequency, bulky-item procedures, recycling options, additional-service charges, and contractor-waste responsibilities directly with the City/provider. Official link: Loris Sanitation Department |
| Aynor | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
SWA currently identifies the Town of Aynor among municipalities
with local trash/recycling service resources.
Property-manager priority: confirm directly with the Town which provider serves the property, whether municipal or private-commercial service applies, container requirements, recycling availability, bulk-item procedures, and current fees. Do not automatically direct municipal residents to SWA's unincorporated convenience-center network without confirming eligibility. Official links: Town of Aynor · SWA Municipal Programs |
| Atlantic Beach | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
Atlantic Beach publishes local garbage and recycling information,
including a community recycling option.
Property-manager priority: confirm contracted trash service, dumpster/enclosure requirements, short-term-rental or multifamily collection procedures, recycling eligibility, bulk removal, collection days, and nuisance/property-maintenance obligations. A community recycling dumpster should not automatically be treated as the recycling system for commercially managed apartment waste without confirmation from the Town. Official link: Atlantic Beach Garbage & Recycling |
| Briarcliffe Acres | No apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified in reviewed sources. |
Horry County SWA currently lists the
Town of Briarcliffe Acres
among municipalities with municipal trash/recycling program resources.
Property-manager priority: confirm directly with the Town the current trash provider, recycling program, eligibility of multifamily or HOA properties, container standards, bulk procedures, collection schedules, and specialty-waste instructions. Because Briarcliffe Acres is an incorporated municipality, do not assume its residents automatically use the unincorporated Horry County convenience-center network. Official links: Town of Briarcliffe Acres · SWA Municipal Programs |
| Unincorporated Horry County | No countywide apartment-specific recycling mandate with a unit-count trigger identified. |
Conventional multifamily and HOA properties should maintain
an appropriate commercial trash/hauling arrangement.
Eligible individual residents of unincorporated Horry County may use the SWA Recycling Convenience Center network subject to current SWA rules, including the published 4-cubic-yard-per-day resident limit. Property-manager priority: do not use resident convenience centers as the property's commercial disposal system. Maintain separate procedures for ordinary trash, recycling, furniture/mattresses, construction/maintenance debris, electronics, HHW, tires, and other specialty materials. Official links: SWA Convenience Centers · SWA Disposal Guidance |
Horry County Flow-Control & Solid-Waste Framework
- Flow Control: Horry County maintains a flow-control system regulating disposal of qualifying acceptable solid waste generated within the County. The ordinance should not be described as requiring every recyclable, HHW item, specialty material, or excluded waste to enter the same facility.
- Authorized Off-Site Hauler: property managers should confirm that the community's off-site waste provider is operating through the appropriate municipal, franchise, private-hauler, and SWA disposal framework.
- Resident SWA Programs: SWA does not itself provide residential curbside trash/recycling collection. Municipalities, HOAs, and private haulers provide different collection programs.
- Commercial vs. Residential Programs: do not substitute a resident convenience center for the apartment property's required commercial collection arrangement.
Official sources: Horry County Code — Solid Waste Handling & Disposal | SWA Commercial Resources
Horry County / South Carolina Enforcement Snapshot
- Do not rely on a universal $100 County penalty: the penalty applicable to a particular solid-waste, nuisance, hauling, or flow-control violation depends on the current ordinance section and enforcement authority involved.
- South Carolina Litter — 15 Pounds or Less: S.C. Code §16-11-700 provides a $25–$100 fine or up to 30 days' imprisonment for the applicable general small-quantity litter offense, plus required litter-gathering/community service.
- Unauthorized Deposit — 15 Pounds or Less: depositing a collection of litter or garbage in a location not intended for public deposit may carry a $50–$150 fine and required community service.
- More Than 15 Through 500 Pounds: illegal dumping may carry a $200–$500 fine or up to 30 days' imprisonment, together with required community service.
- More Than 500 Pounds: State law provides potential $500–$1,000 fines, imprisonment up to one year, or both, plus potential cleanup/restoration obligations and qualifying equipment/conveyance forfeiture.
- Municipal Enforcement: Myrtle Beach and other municipalities may separately enforce their current sanitation, property-maintenance, nuisance, set-out, contractor-debris, and collection ordinances. Confirm the actual local penalty section before quoting a dollar amount.
- Risk-management practice: keep hauler agreements, invoices, service schedules, enclosure photographs, resident notices, bulk-removal records, contamination documentation, code notices, and corrective-action records.

How National Doorstep Helps Myrtle Beach / Horry County Property Management
Compliance is operational. National Doorstep helps multifamily communities standardize resident set-outs, reduce loose trash and contamination, document collection activity, and communicate property-specific prohibited-material, recycling, and bulk-item procedures.
National Doorstep's role: National Doorstep operates upstream from municipal and private off-site hauling. Authorized doorstep personnel move approved resident-set-out material from apartment doors to property-designated collection points on private property.
The property's authorized municipal, franchise, or private hauler remains responsible for off-site transportation and compliance with applicable Horry County flow-control and disposal requirements.
Specialty-material limitation: HHW, covered electronics, contractor debris, oversized bulk material, and other specialty materials should not enter the ordinary National Doorstep stream unless the property has established a lawful and specifically authorized pathway.
Resident-facility limitation: National Doorstep personnel should not aggregate apartment material and use SWA resident convenience centers as a substitute for the property's authorized commercial waste arrangement.
Hauler coordination: National Doorstep helps property management coordinate onsite doorstep operations with the property's authorized municipal, franchise, or private hauler and provides current SWA/municipal disposal information where applicable.
No affiliation: National Doorstep Pickup is not affiliated with Horry County, Horry County Solid Waste Authority, Myrtle Beach, Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Aynor, Loris, Atlantic Beach, Briarcliffe Acres, South Carolina DES, or any other valet-trash company. Government references are informational and do not imply endorsement, partnership, certification, or affiliation.
