Litter Enforcement Programs

SC Litter Control Association
The South Carolina Litter Control Association (SCLCA) was organized in 1987 to promote litter enforcement, to protect the environment and to heighten public awareness of the litter problems. In partnership with SCLCA, PalmettoPride works to engage law enforcement officers in enforcing South Carolina’s litter laws and spreading awareness of the fines associated with these laws.

Join us on February 10 for the annual SCLCA Conference in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Zero Tolerance Campaign
PalmettoPride, in partnership with the South Carolina Litter Control Association, promotes “Zero Tolerance for Litter” campaign every year. The event is designed to encourage all law enforcement agencies to target littering, uncovered loads and illegal dumping. The campaign also educates the public that littering is a crime with costly penalties.

Officers can now fill out their reports online.

Enforcement Committee
PalmettoPride and law enforcement agencies statewide continue to fight litter across the state by combining resources and making enforcement of the litter laws an important issue in South Carolina. PalmettoPride formed the South Carolina Enforcement Committee made up of DNR, Litter Control, Highway Patrol and Public Safety officers to continue the "Zero Tolerance For Litter" policy year round and most importantly, to create an effective anti-litter statewide enforcement task force.

The Enforcement Committee is made up of more than 30 agencies from thirty-one counties around the state. The officers will target frequently littered areas, dumpsites, forests, and illegal dumping areas, as well as monitoring for the illegal transport of litter.

Camera Loan Program
PalmettoPride offers different types of surveillance equipment enforcement agencies can borrow. With these cameras, enforcement officers have the tools necessary to keep an eye on “hotspots” in their jurisdiction. Borrowing agencies are required to send in report forms detailing the use of the cameras on litter cases. Contact Gene Campbell at PalmettoPride for more information on the program or any of the camera systems offered.
