Hazardous waste disposal in Mt. Pleasant, SC
Mt. Pleasant is shaped by commercial and marine premises rather than heavy plant, and what that means for waste is decided by what those processes generate and by the South Carolina program the site operates under — not by the city line on a map.
Served as part of Charleston
A generator in Mt. Pleasant is collected on the same routing as the wider Charleston area rather than as a separate territory, which is worth saying plainly because it is what actually decides scheduling and price. It also means the practical answer to most questions here is the same as it is a few miles away.
The rule in South Carolina
South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES)
Waste generated in Mt. Pleasant is regulated by SCDES, which administers the authorized hazardous waste program for South Carolina over the federal baseline. What that adds for a Mt. Pleasant site, and where South Carolina differs from the state next door, is set out on the state page.
Who answers, and what that means
Mt. Pleasant is a planned-collection distance from the Tampa, FL office rather than a drop-everything one, which makes a scheduled route with consolidation the sensible pattern here — a site that plans its removals gets both better service and a better price than one calling when a drum is already past its date.

Asked from Mt. Pleasant
The four things generators around Mt. Pleasant, SC ask before anything else, answered from the rules rather than from a brochure.
Greer collects in Mt. Pleasant, SC, dispatched from the Tampa, FL office on its own permits and its own equipment. There is no facility in Mt. Pleasant, SC itself — Greer runs two offices, and South Carolina is covered from one of them rather than from a depot in every city that has a page.
South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) administers the authorized hazardous waste program for South Carolina, over the federal baseline rather than instead of it. So a waste generated in Mt. Pleasant is classified the same way it would be anywhere in the country, and the requirements around storing, moving and reporting it are South Carolina's.
An unidentified container in Mt. Pleasant, SC is a smaller problem this week than it is next year, so the first thing is to leave it alone: do not move it, and do not open it if anything has crystallized around the cap. Tell the Tampa, FL office where on the Mt. Pleasant, SC site it came from and what the process beside it does, and identification is arranged before collection rather than after.
No — for a site in Mt. Pleasant, SC, describing the process that makes the waste and roughly how much of it there is gets you a price. A Certified Hazardous Materials Manager profiles it from that, which is the work you are buying, and guessing a code yourself only transfers the liability for it back to you, in South Carolina exactly as anywhere else.
