They are the best quick service and very professional. Thank you and I will be using your services againPosted on Billy JackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome people to deal with, brought the dumpster asap and always picked up the day I called when it was full. Also replaced it with another dumpster the same day .Posted on Darryl MihalekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hasan and his team provided an amazing service at an excellent price point. They are very easy to work with and went the extra mile for this customer. This was my first time renting a dumpster in Charleston. I reached out to other “leaders” in the field but was most impressed by Hasan’s flexibility, availability of inventory and pricing. Others charged for delivery and haul away. With this group, it was one simple price (and also the lowest). I recommend this company and plan to do business again.Posted on Peter MasulloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Smart Dumpsters was phenomenal. Their website has most of the information you need such as dumpster size and pricing and there are no hidden fees or other surprises. I called with some specific questions and the gentleman who answered gave me all the information I requested. Delivery of the dumpster was without hassle and removal posed no issues. We rented their largest residential dumpster which was 6 feet tall and held 20 cubic yards. Their large dumpsters have a door the width of the unit making it easy to walk things into the dumpster. Something to be aware of is the shape of the dumpster floor. It’s sort of ‘U’ shaped which wasn’t an issue for us but something we had to factor in based on the shapes of things we were throwing away. Also, it helps if you take advantage of the door and walk things in since you will fit more into the dumpster than if you were to just randomly toss things in. I really can’t say enough about how positive my experience was.
You’ve got enough to manage without wondering when your dumpster will show up or what surprise fees are coming. Your renovation timeline doesn’t pause because waste is piling up. Your construction crew can’t work efficiently when debris blocks access.
That’s where reliable waste disposal services make the difference. You get a dumpster delivered when you need it—same day or next day. You know exactly what you’re paying upfront, with no hidden delivery or haul-away charges tacked on later. Your driveway stays protected with boards under the container, so you’re not left with cracks or damage after pickup.
The result? Your project stays on schedule. Your site stays safe and accessible. You focus on the work that matters instead of babysitting waste removal logistics.
We’ve been handling garbage removal service across the Lowcountry since 2016. We’ve worked with hundreds of contractors, homeowners, and property managers throughout Ladson and the surrounding Charleston area—from small bathroom tear-outs to full commercial site cleanups.
We know this market. Ladson’s construction activity has surged with new residential developments and the continued growth around the Mercedes-Benz plant. That means more projects, tighter timelines, and higher expectations for waste services that actually show up on time.
We’re not the cheapest option you’ll find. We’re the one that delivers when promised, communicates clearly, and doesn’t surprise you with fees after the fact. That’s why contractors keep our number saved.
You call or submit a quote request with your project details—what you’re throwing away, when you need it, and where it’s going. We recommend the right size based on your scope. Most residential renovations fit a 15-yard. Larger construction jobs or full cleanouts usually need a 20-yard.
We deliver the dumpster to your Ladson property, typically same-day or next-day depending on when you call. We place protective boards under the container to prevent driveway damage. You fill it at your own pace during your rental period—standard options are 3 or 10 days, with extensions available if your timeline shifts.
When you’re done, you call for pickup. We haul it away and handle proper disposal, including recycling where applicable. You get one straightforward invoice with everything included. No surprise weight fees unless you’ve loaded prohibited materials or gone significantly over capacity—and we’ll walk you through weight limits upfront so that doesn’t happen.

You’re choosing between 10-yard, 15-yard, and 20-yard dumpsters based on project size. A 10-yard works for small cleanouts or single-room renovations. A 15-yard handles most residential projects—kitchen remodels, flooring replacements, garage cleanouts. A 20-yard is your go-to for new construction, large demolition work, or estate cleanouts.
Every rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and your chosen rental period. Driveway protection comes standard. You’re covered for general construction debris, household junk, yard waste, and most renovation materials. Hazardous waste, electronics, and certain appliances aren’t allowed—we’ll clarify the full list when you book.
Ladson’s residential growth means permit requirements vary by neighborhood and HOA rules. If your dumpster needs to sit on the street instead of your property, you may need a permit from Berkeley County or the Town of Ladson. We’ll guide you through that process and let you know what’s required for your specific address. Most driveways don’t need permits, which keeps things simpler.
Same-day delivery is available if you call early enough in the day—usually before noon. Next-day delivery is standard for most requests.
Your timeline matters, especially if you’re coordinating with contractors or dealing with a sudden project change. We keep inventory available specifically for fast turnarounds because we know construction and renovation schedules shift. If you’re starting demo on Monday morning, you shouldn’t be waiting until Wednesday for waste removal.
That said, weekends and peak construction season—spring through early fall—can fill up faster. Calling a day ahead when possible gives you the most flexibility on delivery windows.
A 10-yard dumpster holds about three pickup truck loads. It works for small bathroom remodels, minor landscaping projects, or garage cleanouts where you’re not gutting the whole space.
A 15-yard dumpster holds about four to five pickup truck loads. This is the most common size for residential work—kitchen renovations, flooring replacements, medium-sized deck removals, or whole-home cleanouts. If you’re tearing out cabinets, ripping up tile, and hauling old appliances, this size usually fits the job.
A 20-yard dumpster holds about seven to eight pickup truck loads. You need this for larger construction projects, full roof replacements, major landscaping overhauls, or estate cleanouts with furniture and bulk items. If you’re unsure, we’d rather recommend one size up than have you run out of space mid-project.
Hazardous materials are prohibited—paint, chemicals, oil, asbestos, batteries, tires, and propane tanks. These require special disposal and can’t go in a standard waste container. Electronics like TVs, computers, and monitors also need separate e-waste recycling.
Certain appliances—refrigerators, air conditioners, anything with refrigerant—require special handling and usually cost extra to dispose of properly. We can guide you on e-waste and appliance disposal options in the Charleston area if you need them removed.
Everything else is generally fine: construction debris, wood, drywall, shingles, concrete (in reasonable amounts), furniture, household junk, yard waste, and most renovation materials. If you’re uncertain about a specific item, ask before loading it. It’s easier to clarify upfront than deal with extra fees or disposal issues later.
We place protective boards under every dumpster to distribute weight and prevent cracks or damage to your driveway. This is standard with every delivery, not an extra you have to request.
That said, older asphalt driveways or those already showing wear are more susceptible to damage from any heavy equipment. If your driveway has existing cracks or soft spots, mention that when booking. We can discuss alternative placement options—your yard, the street with a permit, or a reinforced area of your property.
The dumpster itself weighs several thousand pounds empty, and more once loaded. Even with boards, extremely soft ground or brand-new asphalt might show some impression. Most standard concrete and asphalt driveways handle the weight without issue when properly protected.
Standard rental periods are 3 days or 10 days, depending on which option you choose at booking. Most homeowners doing weekend projects go with 3 days. Contractors and larger renovations typically need 10 days.
If your project runs longer, you can extend the rental. Just call before your pickup date and we’ll adjust the schedule. Extensions are charged per day, and we’ll give you that rate upfront so you know what to expect.
Ladson’s residential neighborhoods and HOAs sometimes have rules about how long a dumpster can sit on the street or in your driveway. If you’re in a deed-restricted community, check those guidelines before booking a longer rental period. We’re familiar with most local HOA requirements and can help you stay compliant.
If the dumpster sits on your private property—your driveway, yard, or parking area—you typically don’t need a permit. Most residential customers avoid permits entirely by placing the container on their own land.
If you need the dumpster on the street or public right-of-way because your driveway can’t accommodate it, you’ll likely need a permit from Berkeley County or the Town of Ladson depending on your exact location. Permit costs and processing times vary, but we’ll point you in the right direction and explain what’s required.
Some HOA-managed neighborhoods have additional restrictions about dumpster placement, even on your own property. They may require advance approval or limit where the container can sit. If you’re in a community with an active HOA, check with them before delivery to avoid any issues.
