Charleston County offers these tips to keep residents on Santa’s nice list.
Make sure you’re on the “nice list” by leaving items like holiday lights, bubble wrap, ribbons/bows, plastic bags, and styrofoam out of your recycling cart.
Other “naughty items” not accepted for recycling include tanglers such as cords, cables, ropes, and belts, which can wrap around equipment at the recycling center, causing processing problems and potentially compromising worker safety. Lithium batteries should never be placed in recycling or trash carts.
Make sure to #RecycleRight by only putting these items in your recycling cart:
paperboard and flattened cardboard
paper
cartons (i.e., milk, juice, and soup cartons)
plastic bottles and containers
glass bottles and jars
aluminum and steel cans
