Keep Laurens County Beautiful

Have you ever wonderedwhere your trash goes after you throw it away?
We teamed up with Laurens County Rural Collections to take you behind the scenes and follow the journey of your trash, from your home all the way to the landfill!
We also touched on recycling and how we can all do our part to reduce waste.
Check out the video to learn more about what happens to your trash after it leaves your house!
