To dispose of hazardous waste properly in Mauldin, South Carolina, residents should utilize designated facilities and services provided by Greenville County and local agencies:
Greenville County offers several staffed convenience centers and unstaffed drop-off sites for residential hazardous waste disposal. Proof of residence is required. Common sites include the Blackberry Valley and Echo Valley centers, though there are closer options for Mauldin residents such as sites in Greer and Simpsonville. These centers accept household hazardous wastes including paints, coatings, used motor oil, batteries, and certain chemicals.
The City of Mauldin Public Works & Sanitation Department handles waste management and can be contacted for guidance on hazardous waste disposal (Phone: (864) 289-8904).
For industrial or commercial hazardous waste, services like Greer Enterprises provide compliant waste disposal solutions for solvents, flammables, medical waste, and other regulated materials across the Upstate region including Mauldin.
VLS Piedmont, located in Mauldin, operates a waste treatment facility handling a range of non-hazardous waste types; for hazardous waste disposal, contact local recycling centers or specialized companies.
For household hazardous chemical recycling or to inquire about specific waste types, contacting Greenville County DHEC at 864-241-1090 is recommended.
Residents should never mix hazardous waste with regular trash and always follow local guidelines to ensure safe handling and environmental protection.​
This approach helps keep Mauldin safe and clean while ensuring hazardous materials are properly processed and recycled where possible.
