Two bills may halt trash services for 60,000 in Greenville Co.
GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – Two sanitation bills that have been discussed in the Statehouse could affect trash services for Greenville County residents.
If passed, bill could end trash services for about 60K Greenville Co. residents
Bill 4002 would discontinue the Greater Greenville Sanitation district and end trash services for around 60,000 residents.
The bill passed in the Senate but failed a second reading last week. It still has to enter committee before the Senate votes on it.
Bill 4003 would stop Greater Greenville Sanitation from servicing people outside of its district.
'It will protect the 64 private companies in Greenville County with 600 employees from Overreach from Greenville Sanitation, costing private jobs,' Representative Mike Burns said.
Lawmakers are making progress on Bill 4003, officials said.
Greater Greenville Sanitation says no heads-up was given before bill passed
The bills were created after failed negotiation talks with Greater Greenville Sanitation, wanting to utilize a flat fee instead of a millage tax.
