Our department works hard to ensure Mauldin residents have a clean city through sanitation services, maintenance to our parks and buildings, and sanitary streets and sewers.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all City residents through a responsive, efficient, and effective delivery of services to every neighborhood and business and by reflecting a can-do attitude with our citizens as well as other City entities.
The City offers weekly trash removal and recycling pickup throughout the year to our residents and businesses.
Beginning November 13, 2023, the City of Mauldin will no longer service handheld recycle bins and will only service roll-away recycling carts.
If you currently have a handheld recycling bin and wish to continue utilizing the recycling service, you will need to purchase a Mauldin-issued roll-away recycling cart by Nov. 13.
The cost of a roll-away recycling cart is $50, and there are two ways to place an order:
If you currently have a roll-away recycling cart, you do NOT need to purchase a new one.
This change is being made because the Public Works Department is transitioning to a full fleet of side-arm trash trucks, which can only pick up roll-away recycling carts. Side-arm trash trucks are the most efficient and effective way for the Department to provide services to the public, in light of the rising cost of labor, recycling and insurance, as well as the number of homes the Public Works Department has to service in a given day.

City-approved trash receptacles and recycling carts can be purchased by residents and businesses through the Business and Development Office by two methods:
The cost of bins is as follows:
Once your trash can or recycling cart has been purchased, it will be delivered to your address within 2-3 business days.
Care of the rollout container is each resident’s responsibility. Containers should be cleaned regularly, stored beside or behind the house or in an enclosure, and kept closed to keep water out.
Note: the below guidelines apply only to City of Mauldin-issued trash cans.
Residents may haul their prohibited items to the below locations:
Simpsonville Residential Waste
517 Hipps Road, Simpsonville, SC 29680

Note: the below guidelines apply only to City of Mauldin-issued recycle carts.
Street sweeping keeps our community clean and safe by removing dirt, garbage, petroleum products, vegetation and other materials that regularly collect on our streets and paths. Storm drainage systems are designed to drain excess rain and ground water from streets, parking lots, footpaths, sidewalks, and roofs. Keeping our storm drains clear helps reduce pollution and flooding.
The city will collect yard debris that follows the guidelines below and operates curbside leaf pickup from October 1 to May 1.

The Street Division provides sidewalk and road maintenance for all City-owned streets, which is approximately 80 miles.

The City of Mauldin Public Works Department Street Division is responsible for the maintenance of municipal streets and associated stormwater drainage infrastructure within city right of ways and their dedicated easements. The division is also responsible for maintaining various drainage ditches by keeping them free of debris to permit adequate stormwater flow. The public streets in Mauldin are maintained either by the City or by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT).
Streets that have deteriorated beyond the point of maintenance and repair are flagged for street resurfacing or major rehabilitation. A street resurfacing project usually includes some combination of full depth patching, milling, and asphalt overlays. Rehabilitation projects are selected for roads that have significant subgrade issues and require the complete replacement or reclamation of a street section.
Prioritization
Street resurfacing and maintenance are evaluated and prioritized based on an analysis of the PCI, street classification, development and utility scheduling, and the available budget approved by City Council. Based on these factors, roads are selected and approved by City Council for resurfacing or major rehabilitation. The intent of this effort is to provide the most cost-effective method to improve the overall condition of City streets. You may view the FY2021 road paving list here and is updated periodically.
Funding
The resurfacing and pavement preservation programs are funded through a combination of the City’s Capital Improvement Program and the Greenville Legislative Delegation Transportation Committee’s (GLDTC) Municipal Match Resurfacing Program (MMRP). Streets funded through the MMRP are managed by the GLDTC’s program manager.
Resurfacing Schedule
Annually, City Council approves the road paving list for the fiscal year. Once approved, the list is provided to the GLDTC’s program manager who develops the work schedule. The work schedule for the FY2021 road paving list can be viewed, here, once available. You may wish to note that the work schedule is continually updated to add the roads from the paving list once the work schedule has been determined.
Prior to the work beginning, the City and the paving contractor will post signs on the street or distribute door hangers to let residents know that work is about to begin. While work is being done on the street, residents are asked not to park or place yard debris in the street.
