Department Functions
SCDHEC has set the recycling goal of 35 percent for all counties and waste reduction goal of 3.5 pounds per person per day. To comply with that goal. Jasper County has established six drop off centers throughout the county. These centers provide citizens with a convenient means for the disposal and collection of solid waste. Citizens have the opportunity to get involved in waste reduction through the recycling program.
Activities
All drop off centers accept household garbage for transfer to a Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill for disposal. All other items are collected here and recycled.
All centers accept the following items for recycling:
- Aluminum and steel cans
- Plastic jugs and bottles
- Newspaper and inserts
