Keep Greenwood County Beautiful

SCDES is now accepting applications for grant-funded projects that help improve water quality by reducing nonpoint source pollution. Applications will be accepted through 5 p.m. on Aug. 14, 2026.

Nonpoint source pollution occurs when rainfall or irrigation water moves across the landscape, carrying pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, bacteria and other contaminants into rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands and coastal waters. Because these pollutants come from many different sources rather than a single discharge point, nonpoint source pollution can be challenging to address.

That’s a wrap for the National Secure Your Load Day tarp give away! Thanks to our volunteers we were able to give away 80 tarps at 4 of the convenience sites in Greenwood County.

In honor of National Secure Your Load Day, Greenwood County Litter Prevention and Keep Greenwood County Beautiful are teaming up to help keep our roads and communities clean.

Join us this Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 8:00–10:00 AM for a FREE tarp giveaway at select Greenwood County Convenience Centers. Tarps will be distributed while supplies last on a first-come, first-served basis.

Unsecured loads are a major source of roadside litter, creating safety hazards for motorists, increasing cleanup costs, and impacting the beauty of our community. Taking a few extra moments to tarp and secure your load can make a big difference in preventing litter from ending up on our roads and waterways.

📍 Participating Convenience Center Locations:
• Dixie Road (1307 Deadfall Rd)
• Bucklevel Road (321 Bucklevel Rd)
• Siloam Church Road (1117 Siloam Church Rd)
• Highway 10 (3221 McCormick Hwy)

A special thank you to PalmettoPride for providing the tarps for this event and supporting litter prevention efforts across South Carolina.

It's a great time to familiarize yourself with our local litter laws!

PalmettoPride is working together for a litter-free South Carolina. It was created by the South Carolina legislature to fight litter and keep our state clean, green and beautiful.
