Green Spaces Recycling Program
City of Charleston Parks
On October 5th, 2009, Keep Charleston Beautiful installed the first of many recycling bins into City Parks. A grant from Nestle Waters NA funded the instillation of 25 permanent recycling bins in popular City Parks. This program focuses on reducing the amount of waste generated in City parks by allowing visitors to recycle bottles and cans in easily accessible bins. Throughout October bins will be installed in the following parks: Marion Square, Hampton Park, White Point Garden and Water Front Park. The City of Charleston Department of Parks will maintain and empty the bins within the parks. The materials collected will be taken to a Charleston County provided drop site and will empty it as needed.
Keep Charleston Beautiful is extremely excited about this first phase of the Green Spaces program and looks to continue the instillation of recycling bins into every City park as funding becomes available.
