Dumpster Rental in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Myrtle Beach dumpster rental pricing sits in the mid-range for the South Carolina coastal market. Most rentals include a 7–10 day window and a base weight allowance of 2–3 tons. Here's what to expect by container size:

• 10-yard dumpster: $300–$380 — condo unit cleanouts, single-room demo, small yard waste hauls, beach cottage clear-outs
• 15-yard dumpster: $360–$440 — bathroom and kitchen gut jobs, deck tearoffs, moderate renovation debris
• 20-yard dumpster: $420–$520 — full home or condo renovations, multi-room remodels, estate cleanouts, standard residential roof tearoffs
• 30-yard dumpster: $480–$600 — hotel room block renovations, large C&D loads, full property cleanouts
• 40-yard dumpster: $550–$700 — new construction framing, commercial tenant improvements, large-scale demolition

Extended rentals beyond the standard window typically add $5–$10 per day. Overweight loads — common with roofing shingles, concrete, and tile — incur overage fees that range $50–$80 per ton beyond the included weight allowance. If your project involves dense materials, ask your provider for the per-ton overage rate before booking.

The City of Myrtle Beach Public Works Department requires a permit when a dumpster is placed in any public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way. No permit is required if the container sits entirely on private property — your driveway, parking lot, or yard.

For street or sidewalk placements, contact the City of Myrtle Beach Public Works Department to obtain the required encroachment or street-use permit. What to know before you book:

• Permit applications typically require proof of insurance and a permit fee; allow 2–3 business days for processing
• Delivery trucks need at least 60 feet of straight-line access and 23 feet of vertical clearance — tight beach-block streets and resort corridors can make delivery tricky; confirm access with your provider before scheduling
• Properties in HOA communities and managed resort areas throughout Myrtle Beach may have their own container placement rules or timeframe restrictions — check with your HOA or property manager before booking
• High-season periods (Memorial Day through Labor Day) see heavy traffic enforcement on the beachside corridors; permits for street placements during peak summer may take longer to process

Many rental companies operating in Myrtle Beach will pull the permit on your behalf for a service fee of $35–$75. Confirm who handles the permitting before delivery day — an unpermitted container on a public street can result in a citation and forced removal.

Most dumpster rental providers in Myrtle Beach haul debris to one of two facilities operated by the Horry County Solid Waste Authority (SWA):

• Jake Abraham Transfer Station — 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue, Myrtle Beach: the city's primary transfer station operated by the City of Myrtle Beach Solid Waste & Recycling Division; waste collected here is loaded and hauled to the county landfill
• Horry County SWA Landfill — 1886 Highway 90, Conway: the county's main disposal site, open Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 6 PM; accepts municipal solid waste and C&D debris from across Horry County

The SWA also operates recycling convenience centers including the Carolina Forest Recycling Center at 800 International Drive in Myrtle Beach, which handles recyclables from the surrounding area. Hazardous household materials — paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides — should be taken to Horry County's designated HHW drop-off programs rather than placed in a roll-off container.

SC DHEC and Horry County regulations prohibit the following from any roll-off dumpster:

• Hazardous chemicals, liquid paints, and solvents
• Electronics — televisions, computers, monitors
• Tires and automotive batteries
• Appliances containing refrigerants (freon must be professionally evacuated first)
• Propane tanks, even empty
• Medical or biohazard waste
• Asbestos-containing building materials
• Any free liquids

Myrtle Beach's economy is built around hospitality and real estate — and both industries generate a steady flow of renovation and construction debris year-round. The market has seen well over $100 million in new hotel and resort investment in recent years, and residential property ownership along the Grand Strand turns over frequently, driving cleanout and renovation activity. The most common dumpster rental projects here:

• Hotel and resort renovations: With major projects at Ocean Reef Resort, the Boardwalk Beach Resort site, and dozens of mid-range properties along Ocean Boulevard, commercial roll-off containers are a constant presence on Myrtle Beach's hotel corridors — expect 30 and 40-yard containers for multi-room renovation blocks
• Vacation rental and condo cleanouts: Short-term rental properties on the Grand Strand cycle through tenant-wear renovations regularly; a 10 or 15-yard handles most single-unit gut jobs
• Residential roofing: Salt air and storm exposure accelerate shingle degradation along the coast; roof tearoffs on typical Myrtle Beach homes (1,500–2,500 sq ft) fill a 20-yard dumpster with shingle weight alone
• Storm and hurricane debris: Hurricane-season storm events and Nor'easters generate sudden demand for containers to handle fence sections, landscaping debris, and damaged building materials across the barrier island
• New construction: Active residential development in Carolina Forest, Market Common, and along Highway 31 generates ongoing demand for 30 and 40-yard containers to handle framing waste, concrete, and mixed C&D debris
• Estate and full-home cleanouts: With a significant retiree and second-home population, Myrtle Beach sees consistent estate cleanout volume as properties transfer or are updated for resale

Getting the container size right before delivery day saves money and schedule headaches. Undersizing means a mid-project swap — extra pickup and delivery fees plus downtime. Here's a quick guide for the most common Myrtle Beach project types:

• 10-yard: Condo or small unit cleanout, single-room demo, small yard waste or storm debris haul — fits in a standard parking space
• 15-yard: One bathroom or kitchen gut job, deck tearoff under 400 sq ft, moderate renovation debris from a vacation rental refresh
• 20-yard: Whole-condo or full home renovation, multi-room remodel, standard residential roof tearoff, estate cleanout — the most frequently rented size in the Myrtle Beach market
• 30-yard: Large home renovation, hotel room block project, roofing tearoff on a structure over 3,000 sq ft, commercial fitout
• 40-yard: New construction, major commercial demo, full-property cleanout for large resort or rental complex

Coastal construction projects in Myrtle Beach often involve heavy materials — tile, concrete board, fiber cement siding — that fill weight limits faster than volume limits. If your project involves dense debris, size up one container and ask your provider about the included tonnage and overage rate before booking.
