Trash Pickup
The City of Hartsville has designated days for pick up of trash and recyclables once a week. Roll carts should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day for your area. Backyard garbage pickup is available to the elderly and disabled homeowners with written verification from their doctor when no one in the home is able to assist in the placement of the cart at the curb. The doctor’s explanation should include the name and address of the resident and can be emailed to publicservices@hartsvillesc.gov.
Please contact 843.383.3019 to report damage to roll carts and recycling bins.
