Quick answer
What does mobile home demolition cost in Williamsburg County?
Our quote is a flat $6,500 — single-wide or double-wide alike, all-in: permits, teardown or tow-out, disposal at the county's $35 per ton commercial C&D rate, and a grade-ready pad. Published market averages ($3,000-$8,000) exclude the asbestos-notification clock, contents, site restoration, and park access — we build the number from the actual Williamsburg landfill schedule.
When the lot rent math flips against you
A mobile home on a rented pad in a park or on a private lot bleeds money the moment it sits empty. In Williamsburg County — where 5,883 manufactured homes stretch from Kingstree down US-52 to Hemingway and across SC-377 to Greeleyville — even a cheap park space at $300-$500 a month drains thousands a year with no offset. When the unit is too old to rent or sell, that monthly outflow is just a countdown to demolition. Our crew cuts the clock short: one coordinate, one schedule, one clean pad.
The Williamsburg County landfill layer: $35/ton for commercial C&D
Every teardown ends at the Williamsburg County Landfill on Old Gapway Road in Salters. The Class II C&D landfill charges $35 per ton for construction and demolition debris from business and commercial loads; special waste runs $50 per ton with prior SCDES approval. Citizen drop-offs are free, but contractor-hauled loads pay the posted rate — and a mobile home teardown is a contractor-hauled event. We separate scrap metal, aluminum siding, and axles before the truck rolls, because that steel subtracts from the landfilled tonnage and the weight ticket. No mobile-home-specific flat fee exists, and we quote from the county's published schedule, not a national average.
South Carolina rules, Williamsburg edition
For one private, standalone mobile home, SC exempts the demolition from the state asbestos survey requirement — SCDES's regulation excludes residences of four or fewer units. Knock down multiple units on one deed or a park row, and the exemption is gone: licensed inspection, 10-working-day notification, $50 project license. Moving a home to a landfill triggers the moving-permit gate under S.C. Code 31-17-360 — county treasurer must certify taxes paid before the permit issues; if the home leaves the county, the full year's taxes are due. Demolish in place and you skip that entire sequence. Structural burns are prohibited statewide, and any asbestos-containing debris needs a Bureau of Air Quality permission letter before the Salters landfill accepts it. We run the paperwork layer so you never see the clock tick.
