Resources to Make Your Pledge a Reality
Recycling
Recycling is a simple yet powerful way to make a positive impact, and the great news is, it doesn't take a lot of effort!
By giving old materials a new purpose, recycling conserves valuable resources. This means we don't need to use as many new materials, which also helps reduce pollution and keeps more waste out of landfills.

Litter Prevention & Cleanup
It's far easier to prevent litter than it is to clean it up.
Litter finds its way into our communities, streets, and water systems through various channels. Once it's there, it's more than just an eyesore; it actively harms our community.
You can be part of the solution! Even small everyday actions add up to big change.
Proper Household Trash Disposal
Properly disposing of your household trash is a simple yet vital action that helps keep our community clean!
Simple everyday actions, like making sure all your trash is bagged in your rollout container, ensuring the lid is closed, and not stacking trash outside of the bin, all help prevent your trash from entering our neighborhoods.
Haul Smart & Do Your Part
Did you know that an estimated 20% of all roadway litter in South Carolina comes from unsecured loads? That's a lot of litter!
Securing items in your truck or trailer when you're hauling is simple. It's not just about preventing litter; it also ensures the safety of everyone on the road, including yourself and other drivers.
Make sure your load is secure before you hit the road!
Properly Dispose of Pat Waste
Unscooped pet waste isn't just unsightly; it's a serious polluter of our waterways.
Prevent Cigarette Litter
Did you know that cigarette butts are the most common type of small litter in the U.S.? According to Keep America Beautiful, they account for a staggering 9 out of 10 pieces of litter under four inches!
While small, this common item has a surprisingly big impact. Learn more about why this tiny piece of litter creates such a significant environmental concern.
