Greater Greenville Sanitation is moving forward with one of the largest public-infrastructure investments in the current permit cycle, pulling two permits totaling more than $12.7 million for a new sanitation campus at 621 Old Easley Hwy. The project includes a 21,603-square-foot garbage transfer building and a 17,236-square-foot administration building, with Evans General Contractors leading construction on both structures.
The two-building campus will add nearly 38,840 square feet of purpose-built space to the site. The garbage transfer building accounts for the bulk of the investment, giving the sanitation district a modern facility to handle the sorting and staging of solid waste before it moves to regional disposal sites. The administration building will consolidate office and operational functions under one roof, replacing what has been a more dispersed footprint for the agency.
Evans General Contractors, a firm well known across the Upstate for commercial and institutional work, is the contractor of record on both permits. The combined scope places the project among the most significant non-residential construction efforts currently permitted in the Greenville area.
The investment comes as the greater Greenville metro continues to add residents and businesses at a pace that strains existing waste-handling infrastructure. A facility of this scale on Old Easley Highway — positioned along a corridor with strong truck-route access — signals that sanitation planners are preparing for continued growth in collection volumes rather than reacting after the fact.
At more than $12.7 million, the campus rivals some of the larger private commercial projects permitted in the city this cycle, a reminder that public-sector construction remains a meaningful driver of development activity in the region. The project will also generate construction-phase employment and ongoing operational jobs once both buildings are complete.
With permits now in hand and Evans General Contractors attached, site work at 621 Old Easley Hwy is expected to advance quickly — a development worth watching for anyone tracking infrastructure spending in the Greenville market.
This matters because a $12.7 million, nearly 39,000-square-foot sanitation campus is one of the county's largest single public-infrastructure commitments this permit cycle, directly tied to the metro's accelerating growth in population and waste-handling demand.
