Here’s something a lot of Hanahan homeowners find out too late: the city’s curbside collection doesn’t take building materials. Not drywall. Not roofing. Not demo debris from that bathroom you finally gutted. If you’re renovating a home in Highland Park or Yeamans Park — neighborhoods where the housing stock is 60 to 80 years old and due for serious updates — you need a real disposal plan before you start swinging a hammer.
That’s where a roll-off dumpster changes everything. One container in your driveway handles the entire project. No hauling loads to the Berkeley County convenience center on Luken Road. No five-trip limit. No guessing whether the city will take it. You load it, we pick it up, and you get a notification when it’s been dumped at the landfill — so there’s no wondering what happened after the truck left.
And because every delivery includes complimentary driveway protection boards, your driveway isn’t the collateral damage of getting the job done. Hanahan’s older neighborhoods have driveways that weren’t built for heavy equipment. We account for that before the truck even leaves the yard.
We’re a locally owned, owner-operated roll-off dumpster company serving Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties. Hanahan isn’t a market we stretched into — it’s part of the core service area we’ve been running routes through since the beginning. Our owner, Hasan, knows these roads, knows the neighborhoods, and handles the operation personally.
When you book with us, you’re not going through a call center or waiting on a broker to find a subcontractor. You’re dealing with the person who will actually coordinate your delivery. That matters when you’re on a tight timeline — whether you’re managing a PCS move out of a Joint Base Charleston rental, prepping a Tanner Plantation property for sale, or running an active job site that can’t afford a no-show.
The whole process is built around making this easy. Online booking, automatic confirmations, delivery reminders, and a notification when your load hits the landfill. No chasing anyone down. No surprises on the invoice.
You start online. Select your dumpster size — 10-yard for smaller cleanouts and single-room renovations, 20-yard for full gut jobs, roofing projects, or multi-room overhauls — pick your delivery date, and confirm your all-in price. No quote forms. No waiting for a callback. The price you see is the price you pay, and the whole booking takes about five minutes.
Once you’re booked, the software takes over. You’ll get an automatic confirmation right away, a reminder before your delivery, and a notification when the dumpster arrives. When you’re done loading, you schedule pickup the same way — online, on your timeline. We use a Ford F550 that handles delivery and retrieval, and it’s specifically chosen because it can navigate the tighter streets in Hanahan’s older residential sections without the access issues a larger truck would create.
One thing worth knowing: if you’re placing the dumpster on your driveway — which most Hanahan customers do — no city permit is required for private property placement. The driveway boards go down before the container does, and when the truck pulls away, your driveway looks the same as it did before we got there. That’s the standard, not the exception.

Every rental runs $395 to $650 depending on size and rental length. That price includes delivery to your Hanahan address, the full rental period, pickup, and landfill disposal up to the two-ton weight limit. No fuel surcharge for the Berkeley County run. No separate haul-away line item. No environmental fee tucked in at the end. The only two extras that could ever apply are $8 per additional day and $80 per extra ton — both explained clearly before you confirm anything.
For residential customers in Hanahan, this typically covers everything from a kitchen remodel or estate cleanout to post-storm debris removal. Hanahan has a documented flood history — Hurricanes Hugo, Floyd, and Matthew all left their mark here — and when water gets into a home, the debris load is significant. Waterlogged drywall, flooring, furniture, and damaged materials add up fast. A 20-yard container handles that kind of volume without multiple trips to the Berkeley County convenience center, which caps residential drop-offs at half a ton per visit and turns away commercial waste entirely.
For contractors and commercial operators working in Tanner Plantation or Hanahan’s warehouse and logistics corridors, the commercial waste restriction at the county’s convenience centers means a roll-off dumpster isn’t optional — it’s the only practical solution. We handle scheduled deliveries, fast swap-outs, and automated job-site notifications that keep your timeline moving without you having to manage the logistics manually.
No — and this catches a lot of Hanahan homeowners off guard. The City of Hanahan’s Public Works Department explicitly does not collect building materials through curbside pickup. That means drywall, lumber, roofing shingles, tile, concrete, and demo debris from any renovation project are not eligible for your regular trash day. The city’s guidance directs residents to the Berkeley County Landfill for building material disposal.
Your other option is the Berkeley County convenience center at 275 Luken Road in Hanahan, which is open Monday through Saturday (closed Thursdays) and does accept construction debris — but with a half-ton maximum per visit, and only for residential use. If you’re a contractor or business, that facility is off-limits entirely. For any renovation project that generates more than a few hundred pounds of debris, a roll-off dumpster is the faster, simpler, and more cost-effective route. You load it at your pace, and it gets hauled in one trip.
For most single-room renovations — a bathroom gut, a flooring replacement, a kitchen demo — a 10-yard dumpster is the right call. It holds roughly the equivalent of three pickup truck loads and fits comfortably in a standard Hanahan driveway without blocking street access. If you’re doing a full kitchen and bath remodel together, replacing a roof, or clearing out an entire estate, the 20-yard is the better fit. It holds about twice the volume and keeps you from having to swap containers mid-project.
One thing specific to Hanahan’s older neighborhoods like Highland Park and Yeamans Park: homes built in the 1940s through 1960s often have heavier materials — plaster walls instead of drywall, original hardwood subfloors, older roofing products — that add weight faster than modern materials do. Weight matters because the standard allowance is two tons. If you’re unsure, it’s usually worth sizing up or having a quick conversation with us before you book. It costs less to start with the right size than to pay the overage.
Pricing runs from $395 to $650 depending on the size and how long you need it. That price is all-in — delivery to your Hanahan address, the rental period, pickup, and landfill disposal up to the two-ton weight limit are included. There’s no fuel surcharge for the Berkeley County run, no separate haul-away fee, and no environmental charge added at billing.
The only two extras that could ever come up are $8 per additional day if you need to keep the dumpster longer than the rental period, and $80 per extra ton if your load exceeds two tons. Both are standard in the industry, and both are explained clearly before you confirm your booking — not disclosed for the first time on your invoice. If you’ve gotten quotes from national companies or brokers before and ended up with a bill that looked nothing like the original number, this is the difference. One price. Fully disclosed. No adjustments after the fact.
It can — especially on older driveways. In Hanahan’s established neighborhoods like Otranto and Yeamans Park, many driveways were poured decades ago and aren’t built to absorb the concentrated weight of a loaded dumpster sitting in one spot. Cracking and surface damage are real risks if the container is placed directly on the concrete or asphalt without any distribution under it.
Every delivery we make includes complimentary driveway protection boards placed beneath the container before it’s set. This distributes the weight across a wider surface area and significantly reduces the risk of cracking or indentation. It’s included on every delivery — not an add-on, not something you have to request. The boards go down as a standard part of the process. For newer Tanner Plantation homes with concrete or paver driveways that represent a significant recent investment, this matters just as much. The goal is that your driveway looks exactly the same after pickup as it did before delivery.
Yes, and it’s not optional. Berkeley County’s convenience center network — including the facility on Luken Road in Hanahan — is explicitly for residential use only. Commercial waste is prohibited at all convenience center locations. That means any contractor working an active job site in Tanner Plantation, any warehouse or logistics operation in Hanahan’s industrial corridors, and any retail or commercial property manager in the city needs a private waste management solution. The county’s free infrastructure simply isn’t available to them.
We handle commercial and contractor accounts with the same flat-rate pricing and the same automated communication system used for residential customers. Scheduled deliveries, fast swap-outs when a container fills mid-project, and automated job-site notifications keep your operation moving without you having to manually track logistics. For contractors managing multiple jobs across Hanahan and the broader Berkeley County area, having a single reliable contact — our owner directly, not a dispatch queue — makes a real operational difference.
Hanahan has a real storm history. Hurricanes Hugo, Floyd, and Matthew all produced significant damage here, and the city’s flood-prone areas along Turkey Creek and the Goose Creek waterway have seen water intrusion from multiple directions during major rain events. When a storm hits, the debris load — downed trees, damaged landscaping, stripped roofing, waterlogged materials — can far exceed what the city’s scheduled yard waste collection can handle.
The city does collect yard waste on assigned days, but with strict size requirements: limbs can’t exceed four inches in diameter, four feet in length, or three cubic yards per collection. That works fine for routine maintenance. After a significant storm, it doesn’t come close to covering what needs to go. A roll-off dumpster is the practical solution — you load everything at once, on your timeline, without making multiple trips or waiting for a collection window that may not accommodate the volume. Same-day and next-day delivery means you’re not sitting on a debris pile while you wait for a container to show up.
