Greenville ending recycling

[PuppiesandKittens]

I read that the Greenville sanitation department is ending recycling pickups from homes, as handling recycling costs more than handling garbage.

This is a joke, right: a city in the US in 2023 wouldn’t actually do that, right?

Easley stopped pic up a couple of years ago. And Pickens county has gotten VERY picky about what they will accept, especially when it comes to plastic.

Greenville Sanitation has nothing to do with the city. They’re a private company. The City of Greenville is continuing with its recycling program:

Greater Greenville Sanitation is either the county's sanitation department or it is a private company that the county contracts to pick up the garbage in unincorporated areas.

Thanks- either I didn’t pay close attention to the news article I saw or it wasn’t clear.  Probably the former.
