Litter is a major issue plaguing Horry County and it is particularly important that we all make efforts to reduce the litter in our communities and clean up where we can. The litter you find on your roadways and even on your school's campus have negative environmental impacts and will have lasting impacts on our beaches, waterways, and oceans. Plants and animals living in these habitats are negatively impacted by litter and schools can help educate students and even parents on the importance of keeping our communities litter free.

​

Challenge: Hold a litter cleanup!  This cleanup can be on school grounds, at home, or you can go off-site to an area in need.

Our local Keep America Beautiful chapter, Keep Horry County Beautiful (KHCB) can assist you with all of the equipment and resources that you need for your cleanup, including trash grabbers, bags, vests, signage, and safety information. Click here to visit their Facebook page!
