Here’s what to do with storm debris after Helene according to city and county officials.

City of Greenville

City crews are moving debris to reopen roads (19 were at work on Tuesday and 24 will work on Wednesday). There is no yard waste pickup this week, but crews will be by to remove the waste soon.

Separate storm-related debris (tree limbs, branches, and vegetative debris) from your household waste and leave it on your curb away from water meters, mailboxes, vehicles and grassy areas to facilitate easy pickup.

Greenville County

Trees and limbs will be collected from the right-of-ways of roads maintained by the county.

Note: No bags or trash can be left with the debris. If it is, the trees and limbs will not be collected.

Crews will be doing multiple runs along all roads. Do not place debris near power poles, mailboxes, meters, fire hydrants, or cars.

You can also drop off debris at the following sites:

  • Blackberry Valley | 409 Blackberry Valley Rd., Greenville
  • Enoree (Eastside) | 1311 Anderson Ridge Rd., Greer
  • Simpsonville | 517 Hipps Road, Simpsonville
