Checked October 31, 2026 against the city's and its hauler's own pages. We never print a pickup day for a whole city, because it changes by street.
🗓️ How Pickup Works
Pickup day depends on your address; the Solid Waste page has a Garbage Pickup Schedule Map, and the Recycling page has a map to find your recycling day (https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=205268375879416581769.0004c0cd646e8569fbc36). Recycling is collected either the first and third Mondays of the month or the second and fourth Mondays, depending on where you live. Carts must be placed on the curb no later than 7:30 am on your scheduled pickup day, 3 feet away from cars, mailboxes and other objects, with lids closed. Leaves, brush and limb piles are collected on a rotation of approximately every 4 to 6 weeks (clockwise rotation by area).
"The City collects household garbage from single-family residences and apartment buildings (5 units or less)." The City provides recycling to residents but "does not provide recycling services to businesses."

🛋️ Bulk Item Pickup

- 📏Limits: Green waste: limbs no longer than 6 feet or over 6 inches in diameter; separate brush, grass clippings and leaves into three piles at least 3 feet from obstacles; no plastic bags, tree stumps, dirt, land-clearing debris or contractor waste. Paint, liquids, televisions, electronics, tires and yard trimmings do not go in carts; for tires, electronics, construction debris and green waste the City refers residents to Spartanburg County Solid Waste (864-949-0211).
