We’ve just got our regularly scheduled City Council meeting for you this Thanksgiving week.
Tuesday (11/26)
Greer City Council Meeting - 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM – City Hall
Debris clean up after Helene is still underway in Greer, and we have a few more updates for you this week.
SCDOT has collected 340,000 cubic yards of debris as of 11/14 across Greenville County. Collection will continue until at least January for our area. For the rest of the month in Greer, there will be a focus on Wade Hampton from US29/SC 291 all the way to the eastern county border with Spartanburg County.
We understand some people still haven’t had debris picked up or it may seem as if DOT is missing certain areas. Due to how FEMA structures its reimbursements, state road and city road debris cannot be mixed together. What this means is that the same trucks can’t pick up debris from state and city roads at the same time. DOT is using their own crews as well as contracted crews for work here in Greer. Lastly, any root balls or large logs will eventually be picked up with the use of larger equipment.
Coming at you at the start of the week with another episode of Greerview, the weekly Greer recap series where we recap what happened last week and look ahead to what’s coming up this week.
Last week we had: a Helene debris collection update, our recently released parking survey, and more.
This week we have: the scheduled Greer Planning Commission meeting for tonight, Tuesday’s Farmers Market, IGNITE Greer and more!

The annual Syl Syl Christmas Toy Drive is this Sunday, November 10 from 2 - 4 PM at the Clock in Greer! (603 W Poinsett St.)
The toys donated will go straight into the Cops for Tots and Country Santa programs. They’ll be looking for new and unwrapped toys for kids aged 1-12. The toy drive commemorates Sylvia Holtzclaw who was involved in the tragic Blue Ridge Savings Bank case. Please consider donating to help underprivileged children and give back to the community this holiday season!
Debris clean-up efforts from Hurricane Helene are still underway. In case you missed our post last week, we want to remind you that the DOT is focusing on interstate and primary routes before they’ll be moving into neighborhoods and secondary roads. If you’re experiencing issues on a state-maintained roadway, please reach out to 855-467-2368 to report your concerns.
To determine if you live on a state-maintained roadway, you can view our GIS mapping tool: https://gismaps.cityofgreer.org/cityofgreermap/. Select the layers list icon on the left, filter to streets, then select “SC-DOT-Owned Streets” (you may have to zoom in and wait for it to load.)
November is here and with it, we’ve got a brand new Greerview fresh off the press for you! Join us this week as we recap gone on the past week in Greer as well as what’s coming up this week.
