Recycling Center
To provide a comprehensive recycling experience, the City of Greer has partnered with Meridian Waste to provide a convenient recycling location for the Greater Greer Area. The facility, located at the former site of the city’s Public Services Department, is staffed six days weekly by Meridian Waste employees who are ready to assist recyclers.
"The economics of this are very simple. We needed to create a recycling program that was not only affordable, but also one that could be provided at no cost to the taxpayers of our community," City Administrator Ed Driggers said.
"What you see operating on this site will bear no cost - direct or indirect - to the citizens of our community. It will enable us to reduce waste into landfills, reducing costs that we have as far as tipping fees. It also provides a financial incentive to the contractor to be successful on this site."
Public - Private Partnership
The public-private partnership and size of the operation is unique to the Upstate.
