PalmettoPride announced the recipients of its annual enforcement grants, which fund efforts to increase litter-related ticketing. Agencies use the money to purchase equipment to monitor hot spots for illegal dumping and to host community outreach events like tarp giveaways and waste tire buybacks. In the 2027 grant cycle, PalmettoPride awarded $31,881 to eight local and county agencies across seven counties.
Created by the hands of local welding students and instructors at Central Carolina Technical College, the interactive art piece doubles as a recycling receptacle and was funded through a PalmettoPride grant.
The app–developed through a partnership between the S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES), PalmettoPride, and the SC Beverage Association–will consolidate information for South Carolina residents on what, where, and how to recycle different items at different locations across the state.
