Do your part and Recycle Right
The Recycle Right SC campaign–a partnership between the SC Department of Environmental Services and PalmettoPride–is designed to inform residents on how to properly recycle, why that is important, and inspire them to do their part through outreach initiatives, events and local government collaborations. Residents can find out what is accepted for recycling in their community and where to take recyclables as well as additional program information here.
Developed through a partnership between the S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES), PalmettoPride, and the S.C. Beverage Association, the Recycle Here SC app was launched and consolidates information for South Carolina residents on what, where, and how to recycle different items at different locations across the state.
The Recycle Here SC app lists all the recycling programs in the state and allows residents to:
- Search for recycling locations and programs within their counties;
- Filter locations based on items needing to be recycled;
- Search and sign up for notifications about special collection events (such as household hazardous waste take-back days, paper shredding days, and electronic collection events);
- Learn about recycling, composting, litter prevention, and waste reduction programs led by SCDES and PalmettoPride; and
- Find out how to properly dispose of other material.
