Recycling in Charleston area (Myrtle Beach: contractor, beach, counties)

[brownnugen]

My wife recently heard that the stuff (paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass, plastic, etc) we are putting in the big recycling bins is all is going straight to a landfill somewhere in the Myrtle Beach area and not even attempted to be recycled. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

That is really sad if true.

Sounds like a combination of rumors and truth from a couple years ago. There’s three counties and three different recycling programs. The tossing recyclables in the landfill thing was what Dorchester County was doing briefly a couple years ago while they sorted out a new recycling contractor.
