Keep Greenville County Beautiful

A massive thank you to the incredible team from Homewood Suites by Hilton Greenville Downtown! 🏨✨

These rockstars woke up extra early to beat the summer heat and dedicated their morning to a litter cleanup in the Brandon Mill Community. In just over an hour, this powerhouse of volunteers removed an estimated 165lbs of litter! 🛑🚮

Thank you so much for your hard work and for helping to keep our community clean, green, and beautiful! 💚💪

Litter doesn't just stay put! 🌧️➡️🌊

The Greenville County Litter Ends Here team spent an amazing day at Roper Mountain Science Center for their STEM Days of Summer event! We had a blast teaching kids and adults alike about the journey of trash through our local watershed.

The big takeaway? Rainwater carries roadside litter straight into our creeks, rivers, and lakes—where it does the most damage and becomes incredibly tough to clean up.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our station to learn how we can keep our waterways pristine! 🤝✨

June is Zero Tolerance for Litter Month across South Carolina, and Greenville County is proud to join the statewide effort!

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office, Greenville County Litter Ends Here, and PalmettoPride are joining forces to remind everyone to Haul Smart and make sure your stuff is secure.

State Law Requires Secured Loads (SC Code 56-5-4100.
Driving with an unsecured load is a misdemeanor in South Carolina. Drivers are legally required to use tight coverings, cargo nets, bungee cords, or tarps to prevent items from falling onto roadways.

Why does this matter?

🚫 It Prevents Litter: A staggering 20% of roadway litter in SC comes from unsecured loads. Nationally, Keep America Beautiful estimates one billion pieces of litter come from unsecured loads.

🛑 It Saves Lives: Unsecured loads create dangerous road hazards. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimates that road debris contributes to as many as 50,000 crashes, 10,000 injuries, and 125 deaths every single year.

Let’s work together to keep our roads safe and our county clean. Tarp it, strap it, and Haul Smart! Learn more at: https://www.greenvillecounty.org/LitterPrevention/HaulSmart.aspx
