The GGSD was established in 1968 to provide residential services to a specific segment within a designated area in Greenville County. Its original purpose was to serve a focused residential need within the district.
Why is HB 4003 Important?
Protect Your Choice. Protect Your Wallet.
Passing this bill ensures Greater Greenville Sanitation remains your trusted trash service provider while also safeguarding your hard-earned money. Here’s what’s at stake:
Prevent a Massive Tax Hike – Without this bill, your taxes will increase by nearly 30% in 2025. This legislation stops GGSC from pushing a reckless $20 million taxpayer-funded transfer station project.
End Wasteful Spending – Your tax dollars should serve you, not fund GGSC’s expansion outside the district, where they unfairly compete with private businesses.
Lower Taxes for Everyone – This bill means lower taxes on your home, car, motorcycle, boat, and other personal property—keeping more money where it belongs: in your pocket.
Act now to protect your community and your finances!
In the past five years, the district has expanded both its services and geographic area beyond the scope outlined in its charter. This expansion has included competition with the private sector, using taxpayer dollars to fund these efforts.
Proposed Transfer Station with your dollars.
The proposed Transfer Station is located in close proximity to an established neighborhood that opposes its construction. Initially, the facility was presented as an office building, but the new plans include a transfer station, which has raised concerns among residents.
The district is proposing the addition of a 4.7 mill debt service, which will be added to the current 14.9 mill rate. This equates to a 23.97% increase in taxes for district residents.
