Charleston County Recycling Now Accepting ALL Plastics for Curbside Pickup

Yes, you read that correctly: Charleston County Recycling is now accepting all plastics for curbside pickup!
This means you can start throwing plastics labeled #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7 into your blue bin along with the #1 and #2 plastics. They will accept all plastics except plastic wrap, plastic bags, and Styrofoam (all things you can easily avoid using with minimal effort). And don’t forget, they also started accepting cardboard for curbside pickup in April – epic awesomeness!
The Charleston Post & Courier had this quote from Charleston County Council member Colleen Condon:
Expanding Charleston County’s Recycling Program to recycle all plastics #1 through #7 allows us to provide better service to our citizens and move closer to our 40 percent recycling goal with this important step.
Cheers to the Jenny and the CCR team, the Council, and everyone else who made this happen. I know it’s been a long time coming, and something that all of us local greenies have been hoping for. In fact, it’s the most common question we get from Go Green readers, and now I have the answer they want to hear!

That is fantastic news!! Thanks!
Thank you to all who made this happen! Go Charleston County Recycling! I visited the Bee’s Ferry site yesterday and things are looking good there. Everything is well organized, the compost pile looks great and the attendants are very friendly and helpful. I left there feeling really good about our community.
Now let’s work on getting them to pick up recycling every week.
Awesome on the recycling. Anything we can do to help improve our environment is always great to hear. I actually hadn’t heard of this announcement yet, so thanks! Also wanted to post a link to a local renewable energy company helping non-profits become more green. Here’s a blog about the project their working on for them. Pretty cool! http://wp.me/pVJRS-2Z
I’m loving the all-plastics recycling. Many thanks to those who made it happen. My only gripe now is that while the County has advertised cardboard pick-up, it STILL isn’t happen in my downtown neighborhood. It irks me to see my neighbors putting it into their trashcan because it isn’t picked up.
This is great news! So many thanks to all the individuals who helped make this happen. I’m proud to live in Charleston and I’m so glad to see we’re taking the lead. Hopefully it will be picked up by other communities as well.
