The City of Greer is working with Greenville and Spartanburg Counties to clean up tree debris. So far, our crews have collected 136 truckloads of debris totaling 3,400 cubic yards. This process will continue until our city is cleaned up. Here’s what you need to know: -Put any yard debris curbside to be picked up -Do not put any trash bags, construction materials, or other items with your debris or it will not be collected -Place debris along the curb and out of the road (green box). We cannot guarantee our equipment will be able to reach the debris piled in your yard (red box). We appreciate your continued patience as staff works as quickly as possible to clean up our city.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we have a different type of Greerview for you this week. Learn about some of the damages to homes and the city as a whole, an update on trash and debris pickup, FEMA assistance, and city events that have since been rescheduled. Thank you to everyone in the Greer community for your continued patience. Please continue to stay safe! https://youtu.be/A-m58C7vEpQ
