Roll-off containers for Blythewood homes and jobsites

Blythewood is a thirty minute run — I-20 east from the yard, up I-77, off at Blythewood Road — and it is the busiest growth market we serve. The Scout Motors plant off I-77 changed the arithmetic here completely. Construction on that scale pulls contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and workers into northern Richland County, and every one of those people needs somewhere to live, which has put housing demand and residential construction into a gear this area has not seen before. We feel it in the container schedule.

The town itself still has a small crossroads core on Blythewood Road with older frame and brick stock on crawlspaces, and around it a fast-expanding ring of subdivision work: Cobblestone Park, the Longtown Road corridor, the streets off Wilson Boulevard and the newer sections stretching south toward Lake Carolina. Almost all of the new construction is slab-on-grade, and new construction generates a specific stream — framing offcuts, sheathing, siding cutoffs, cardboard and packaging, brick and block rubble, and the general debris of a house going up rather than coming apart. That is a very different load from a remodel, and it usually wants a bigger box on a longer cycle with regular swaps.

The established 1990s and 2000s subdivisions here are doing what that stock does everywhere: first refresh. Roofs after a hail spring, decks that have rotted at the ledger, builder-grade kitchens coming out, flooring changes when a house sells. And the land around Blythewood is still rural in patches, with acreage, outbuildings, red clay and long drives, so we get the country jobs too — old barns and sheds coming down, and pine and oak limb wood after every ice storm and summer thunderstorm line.

What we know about working in Blythewood

Blythewood divides into two kinds of delivery and they need different handling. On a construction site, the questions are access, cycle and material. Tell us where the site entrance is and whether the pad is stable enough for a loaded truck — red clay in northern Richland ruts badly and holds water after a rain, and a truck that sinks is everyone’s problem. Concrete, brick and block are heavy enough that they want their own dedicated container rather than being mixed into a general debris box; a small volume of clean rubble is far more manageable than a mixed load. Keep the land-clearing debris separate as well, because South Carolina keeps brush, limb wood, leaves and grass out of landfill disposal and it has to go as a clean load. On the residential side, the covenants are the thing. The newer subdivisions here are covenanted and typically limit where a container sits, keep it off the street and cap how many days it stays. Get that window before you book and we will schedule inside it, and ask for the current version because associations amend their rules. On acreage jobs, mark the septic tank, the drain field and the well head — a loaded roll-off cannot cross any of them. Blythewood is its own town inside Richland County, so town and county requirements can both apply; confirm before demolition, and call SC 811 before anybody digs.

Getting a truck to you

I-20 east to I-77 north, off at Blythewood Road. Thirty minutes from the yard on a clear run, longer when I-77 is busy at commute hours or when construction traffic is heavy around the plant. Wilson Boulevard and Longtown Road for anything outside the town core. Tell us whether it is a construction site or a residential drive, whether the ground is clay and how wet it has been, whether concrete or brick rubble is going in, and the association’s day limit if there is one.

Routes we run: I-20 east to I-77 north, I-77 north to the Blythewood Road exit, Blythewood Road through the town centre, Wilson Boulevard (US-21) and Longtown Road across the outer areas.

Permits, streets and placement in Blythewood

On a private driveway in Blythewood you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the city or county where the road is locally maintained, or from SCDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Richland County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have narrow shoulders and deep drainage ditches, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and SC DES publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Blythewood. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Richland County.
