Trash Contractor Transition Update

Beginning Monday (2/2/26) Sandlapper Waste will be providing all trash, recycling, brown & white, and yard waste collection services for SIPOA. They did a great job distributing over 2,100 new trash carts to residents this week. The new carts match the style of the existing recycle carts and have improved curb appeal over the older mix of trash carts. 

If for some reason you did not receive a new trash cart, please email trash@sipoa.org to request a new one that will be delivered next week.

There will be a new trash compactor delivered to the recycle center on Monday (2/2/26). 

All trash, recycling, and yard waste related questions should be sent to trash@sipoa.org. SIPOA and Sandlapper Waste are committed to providing timely responses to all emails sent to this address.

Trash & Recycling Services Contractor Update

SIPOA will be using a new service provider this year for trash, recycling, and yard debris pickup.  Beginning on February 2, 2026, Sandlapper Waste will provide trash and recycling collection services on Seabrook Island.  The collection schedule will be mostly the same, with yard debris collection being moved to Wednesday and Villa and Regime recycle pickup on Tuesdays.  The annual collection schedule is attached for your reference. 

  • January 26th will be the last day for trash pickup with our current provider, and they will be taking the trash carts away on this date. 
  • Most carts will be removed on January 26th, but some may not be removed until January 27th.
  • Please make sure your trash cart is placed on the curb regardless of whether it has trash in it or not on January 26th.
  • New trash carts will be delivered during the week of January 27th. 
  • The recycle carts will remain and will not be changed. 
  • Regimes with trash corrals and/or backdoor service will have new trash carts delivered during the week of January 27th as well.
  • If your trash cart is not picked up by January 27th, please email trash@sipoa.org and provide the address and location of the trash cart. 
  • The trash carts are 90-gallon size, which is the same size as the current carts.  This is the only size trash cart that will be provided by SIPOA; however, residents are allowed to use their own cart if they prefer a different size. 
  • ARC and the Town will suspend enforcement of trash carts being left on the curb during the week of 1-26-26.  Please plan to have your new cart stored properly by 2-1-26. 
  • The procedure for reporting any missed collection or requesting a new roll cart is still the same and all requests should be emailed to trash@sipoa.org.
