Trash Can & Yard Debris Reminders

We wanted to remind all residents of the following garbage pick-up, garbage can placement, and yard debris rules and regulations. Residents may receive an email or phone call reminding them of these restrictions. Following these rules/regulations will help avoid more garbage and debris from blowing down the street which can occur on windy, stormy days. We appreciate your attention to these matters that will help keep our island beautiful.

Please see the excerpt from the community guidelines regarding trash, garbage or yard debris rules”

Exhibit “C” – Restricted Activity 1m:

(m) Accumulation of rubbish, trash, yard debris, or garbage, including material for recycling, except between regular garbage or recycling pick ups, and then only in approved containers and in compliance with the applicable city or county ordinance, and screened from view from streets and other Units.  

Please see the below City of Charleston Garbage Collection Policies as well as restrictions from the Daniel Island governing documents:

1. Garbage containers (green city rolling can) should be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before scheduled pick-up (Sunday if DICA and Monday if DIPA) and removed as soon as possible after pickup, but no later than 6 p.m. on the scheduled pickup days (Monday if DICA and Tuesday if DIPA)
2. When stored, trash cans should be screened from view. Screened from view means that they should be placed behind your fence, in the garage, or behind landscaping and not visible from the street or alley, or other units. Trash cans should not be left at the street or alley nor left in front of the garage. 
3. Yard Debris Remidners:
   • All leaves, twigs, weeds, and grass clippings shall be placed in brown paper bags designed for the purpose of leaf and clippings disposal.
   • Tree limbs and stumps need to be cut into 4-foot lengths and 4-inch diameters and stacked curbside clear of obstructions.
   • If a landscape contractor is being used, please have them remove the debris with them when they leave.
