Missed out on Lake Robinson Day? No worries, we’ve got you covered with some recap pics!
The City of Greer was at the lake this past Saturday helping to educate families on where their water comes from and how to best protect it. The Parks, Recreation & Tourism, Public Services, and Engineering departments all had tents set up explaining the impacts of stormwater as well as litter clean up services. Thank you to GreerCPW for the invite and for putting on the event!

SCDOT will soon be helping Greer deal with the aftermath of Helene. They will begin their debris cleanup on Monday, October 14.
Do not wait to put your debris at the curb, as we cannot guarantee when the contracted crews will be in specific neighborhoods. It will take DOT crews several days to visit all of Greer. As these crews are working, our Public Services team will continue to operate on the schedule released earlier this week.
Please note the city will not have information on when DOT crews will be in your neighborhood, if they have already been to your neighborhood, or the routes they are running.
Learn more about the SCDOT debris removal here: https://info2.scdot.org/SCDOTPress/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=3767
An update on debris pickup as of 10/8:
The City of Greer Public Services Department will follow the leaf collection map for debris pickup. They will work in each area Monday-Saturday. If crews have touched all roads in the scheduled area early, they will move on to the next area.
Please note: The city is receiving assistance with debris cleanup and those crews may not follow this schedule.
Area 1: 10/7-10/12
Area 2: 10/14-10/19
Area 3: 10/21-10/26
Area 4: 10/28-11/2
The department will reassess as they move through each area. Learn more on our loose leaf collection page: https://www.cityofgreer.org/o/ps/page/loose-leaf-collection
Join us this week for another look in the Greerview, where we recap last week and look ahead to what’s coming up this week in Greer.

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!
