Brush Pickup: Bins Placed in Neighborhoods for Cleanup Crews

Residents should not load brush, debris or trash into bins

Simpsonville, S.C. — Simpsonville residents should expect to see bins for brush strategically placed by contracted crews in their neighborhoods as of the evening of Oct. 16 and morning of Oct. 17.

Private contractors will facilitate the loading of all debris, and residents are instructed to not load any brush, debris, trash or other items into the bins. Any bins deemed contaminated with non-wood or non-brush matter will be rejected.

The Poinsettia and Wagon Creek neighborhoods are the first two neighborhoods in which bins will be dropped along city streets. The Simpsonville Public Works Department crews continues to pick up brush in the Westwood neighborhood on their way to the Hunters Woods neighborhood. 

Residents, motorists, and pedestrians should remain aware of any large machines in their neighborhoods or on their streets as BellMoore Construction works within roadways. Live-loading trucks will be in neighborhoods spot-loading specific piles of brush, and in a second phase of cleanup, crews will racked and haul off any remaining brush debris.

BellMoore Construction is the contractor with whom the Public Works Department is working on efficient, effective and safe storm cleanup.

Only brush debris will be picked up by crews. Public Works and BellMoore crews will not pick up construction debris or brush generated by private contractors and businesses.

Residents with questions can request that a machine operator on their street call the debris pickup supervisor, who will respond to address any concerns.

Brush debris pickup following Tropical Storm Helene will continue for the remainder of October and into November. There is not a set schedule or timetable for pickup. Crews may make multiple trips to a neighborhood depending on the most influential factor in the cleanup process: the volume of debris.
