PUBLIC WORKS

Note: the below guidelines apply only to City of Mauldin-issued trash cans.

• Trash can must be on the curb by 7:30 a.m. on your pickup day to be serviced.
• Front of trash can must face the roadside to be serviced.
• All trash must be bagged in a trash bag to ensure that all trash is deposited into the truck and does not end up outside the truck to prevent littering.
• All trash bags must be inside the trash can to be picked up; trash bags are prohibited from being left anywhere outside the can, on the can and on the lid of the can except on holidays.
• Any trash or trash bags that are not inside the trash can will not be picked up.
• The City may pick up bulky items on a case by case basis; however, a pickup request must be made to Public Works at 864-289-8904 in order to schedule the pickup.
• Only the green City of Mauldin can will be serviced; Public Works will not service any can other than the green City of Mauldin can.
• Do not park motor vehicles in front of the trash can.
• At least 3 feet of clearance from other objects (e.g. vehicles, mailboxes) must be maintained around the trash can to ensure pickup.

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).

Street Repaving and Resurfacing

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.
