Dumpster Rental in Spartanburg: Sizes, Prices and the Rules
Roll-off dumpsters in Spartanburg typically run $295 to $695, depending on size, debris and rental length, at one local company's posted range, with 7 days standard. Behind every quote is the scale at Spartanburg County's Wellford Landfill: $40 a ton for construction and demolition debris and $33 a ton for household-type garbage. The City won't pick up a contractor's remodeling debris, which is why remodels need a dumpster.

| 20 yard | Kitchen remodel, a whole-room cleanout | within that range | 3 to 4 tons | 7 days |
| 30 yard | Whole-house cleanout, a major remodel | within that range | 4 to 5 tons | 7 days |
| 40 yard | New construction, big demolition | within that range | 5 to 6 tons | 7 days |
Going over the weight allowance or keeping the container past 7 days costs extra; get both rates in writing with your quote.
Why weight sets the price
Spartanburg County's Wellford Landfill (595 Little Mountain Road, Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) is where local dumpsters get weighed. Fiscal 2026 commercial rates: $40 a ton for construction and demolition debris, $33 a ton for household-type garbage, $30 a ton for yard waste, plus a $37-a-ton surcharge on mixed loads. Keep a remodel's debris separate from household trash and the hauler's disposal cost, and your quote, can stay lower.

Spartanburg rules before you rent
The City won't take contractor debris
Spartanburg's code bars putting construction material, dirt, rocks or anything from construction, remodeling, demolition or contract landscape work at the curb for City collection (section 28-43). Those jobs need a dumpster or a haul to the landfill.
Driveway or street?
The code keeps business bulk containers off sidewalks, grass strips, curbs and streets unless the City designates a spot (section 28-40). If your dumpster can't go on the driveway, call City Public Works at (864) 596-3690 before delivery day.
Outside city limits
Spartanburg County runs the landfill and 17 recycling centers for county residents. The centers take household trash but not tires or yard debris, which go to Wellford.
What can't go in the dumpster
South Carolina law keeps whole tires, lead-acid car batteries, TVs and computers out of landfills, and appliances out of household-trash landfills. Fridges, freezers and A/C units need their refrigerant recovered first, and dumpster companies refuse paint, chemicals and fuel. Wellford is the only County site that takes tires.
Do you need a dumpster at all?
For household trash, Spartanburg County residents can use any of the 17 staffed recycling centers, Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wellford takes self-hauled loads by the ton. Every drop-off site, with hours and fees, is on our Spartanburg dump page.
