The best way to start recycling is to call us today to get on our recycling pickup schedule around the Grand Strand areas. We’ll provide a bin that you can throw all accepted recycling materials into. We offer single sort recycling for your convenience. On your scheduled pickup day, we’ll empty your bin so that you can continue placing recycled items into it.

Why is recycling important?

Recycling is important because it keeps certain items out of our Murrells Inlet landfills. These items could be potentially hazardous if left to rot in landfills; or they are reusable materials that can be repurposed for multiple use. By reusing certain items, like aluminum, paper and plastics, we can save production costs and the amount of energy expended. This in turn can potentially lessen any negative impacts these processes have on our South Carolina environment.
