New SIPOA Compost Program

We are excited to announce a new compost program on Seabrook Island. Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA) has established a compost collection site at the existing trash and recycling center.

The address of the trash and recycling center is 2902 Seabrook Island Road near the Maintenance Shed and the Community Garden.

Compostable items can be brought there and deposited in one of the two collection containers. The containers will be emptied every Tuesday and Friday, and the materials will be hauled to the Charleston County compost facility to be processed as compost.

This is a new sustainability initiative we hope residents will elect to participate in. Details on what is and is not compostable can be found  here and on the SIPOA website.
