“Today was an awesome day, we held the South Carolina Litter Control Association Upper Region meeting at the Laurens County Chamber of Commerce in Clinton SC. I have had the pleasure of serving as the Upper Region Director, which covers 11 counties though out the Upstate of South Carolina. We had 22 officers and members of the upper region in attendance today and our speaker was Senator Everett Stubbs of District 17. Thank you for making the trip and speaking at the meeting. I would like to give a big thank you to Laurens County Chamber of Commerce for hosting us for the 2nd year in a row.” - T.J. Martin, Upper Region Director

Last day of June means we're closing out Month, but real ones know a litter-free SC takes 7 days a week, 365 days a year. 🌴

Thank you to every South Carolinian who picked up litter, secured their load, reported a violation, or just chose not to toss that wrapper out the window. Every litter bit helps. 🗑️

⏰ Reminder: Applications for our Enforcement Grant are due TOMORROW, 7/1! If your agency hasn't applied yet, don't miss your shot at funding to help keep our state beautiful.

Do you know South Carolina's litter laws? 🚨

Littering isn't just harmful to our roadsides and communities—it's against the law. In 2018, the South Carolina General Assembly passed Act 214, giving magistrates and municipal courts greater flexibility to prosecute litter violations and hold offenders accountable.

The message is simple: Littering will cost you, because it costs everyone.

As June comes to a close, law enforcement agencies across South Carolina are continuing to increase enforcement of litter, illegal dumping, and unsecured load laws. Make the right choice: secure your load, dispose of waste properly, and help keep South Carolina beautiful.

🚯 Don't risk it. Don't litter.

A blast from Zero Tolerance for Litter Months past 📸

From PSAs and roadside enforcement details to community partnerships and public education efforts, these photos capture years of South Carolinians working together to reduce litter and instill personal responsibility across our state.

The effort is making a difference. A recent national litter study from Keep America Beautiful found that litter is down 34% nationwide since 2020. That's real progress—but there's still work to do 💪

As a reminder, June is in South Carolina, and law enforcement agencies across the state are increasing enforcement of littering, illegal dumping, and unsecured load violations.

June 6th marks the annual Day, dedicated to raising awareness around vehicle safety to keep our roads safe and litter-free! 🚛

Operating a vehicle without properly securing its load is not only dangerous and illegal — it also increases the amount of litter found on South Carolina roadways and carries fines of up to $300.

Don't risk it! Secure your load before you hit the road. 🛑
