Really? The other day I posted on the Green Charleston Twitter feed one of my favorite concepts: that when you throw something away, there really is no “away.” This person didn’t get the memo.

Paint cans, old rugs, a box of food – this stuff does not belong here. We need to encourage others to use our recycling drop sites with respect, or they won’t be around much longer. I know taking your used paint out to Bee’s Ferry is a haul, but until Charleston County Recycling can provide more drop sites, it’s all we have.
