Solid Waste

Commercial Solid Waste Collection

For more than 30 years, the City of Hartsville has provided quality, efficient waste management service to commercial customers in the community. The City’s commercial solid waste fees are competitive with the private sector. Our efficient operations mean better service at a lower cost than most other providers. Information on this service may be obtained by contacting the Public Service Division at 843-383-3019.
