To ensure an efficient and effective cleanup process, please follow these important guidelines:

- Debris Specifications: All sections of debris should be cut into pieces no longer than 6-7 feet. Root balls and stumps will not be collected.
- Exclusions: Please note, this service is for green waste only, such as trees, limbs and other vegetative debris. Household garbage will not be collected as part of this effort. Additionally, debris will not be picked up from private roads.

With high demand, the removal process will take time. We appreciate your patience. Your cooperation is vital to help us restore our community. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to recover from this storm.

· Cardboard with all plastics and other packaging materials removed.
· Glass types do not need to be separated.
· Paper products (this includes drink cartons)
· Aluminum and tin cans (cans must be empty)

Certain items cannot be accepted at the City of Easley recycle stations but may taken to the Pickens County recycle stations or landfill. These items include:
· Oil
· Chemicals or chemical based products
· Paints
· Electronics.
· Furniture or appliances (Call Public Works office prior to Thursday for a pickup (864)855-7916)

Dear Residents,
We want to inform you that, effective September 9th, 2024, the City of Easley will no longer be accepting glass for recycling. This decision comes as a result of recent market changes that have impacted the feasibility of glass recycling.
We understand this may be disappointing news, but we encourage you visit the Pickens County recycle center at 2035 Old Liberty Rd, Liberty, SC 29657 to dispose of glass containers or consider alternative disposal or reuse options. We remain committed to supporting sustainable practices and will continue to provide recycling services for other materials.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Easley Residents,
As we continue to recover from the damage left by Hurricane Helene, we want to remind you about the City of Easley's brush and yard debris collection policy. Please be advised that the Public Works Department will not pick up brush and yard debris that has been placed on the curbside by a contractor.
If you've hired a contractor for home repair or yard work, it is their responsibility to remove any debris they generate. To ensure proper service for all residents, please make sure that any debris from contractor work is hauled away by the contractor themselves.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our city clean and beautiful! If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at (864)855-7916.
Best regards,
City of Easley Public Works Department
