Greenville County runs one landfill, Twin Chimneys on Augusta Road near Honea Path — more than 20 miles south of downtown — and six Residential Waste and Recycling Centers spread around the county, open Tuesday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Household trash from your own home is free. Construction debris and yard waste cost a few dollars a cubic yard at Twin Chimneys, and shingles go only there.
The centers are closed Sunday and Monday. Twin Chimneys is open weekdays and Saturday, so it's the only county site you can use on a Monday.

Greenville County lists electronics, motor oil, yard waste, car batteries, appliances and tires as banned from the landfill under South Carolina law. They're collected separately at Twin Chimneys and the centers and recycled. Electronics — computers, printers, TVs, monitors, laptops and phones — go free to any center except Piedmont and Echo Valley, as long as they're intact and from a home.
The centers don't take hazardous or liquid waste. Call the Solid Waste Division at (864) 243-9672 before bringing anything hazardous.
