BEAUFORT COUNTY, S.C. - (WSAV) - Beaufort County encourages residents with Convenience Center decals to recycle Christmas Trees and other holiday items. Bring your holiday decor to any County Convenience Center during normal center hours. Trees should be put in the yard waste bins.
For those without Convenience Center decals, Christmas trees can be brought to the Shanklin Road, Beaufort or Simmonsville Road, Bluffton locations only.
Here are the guidelines to recycle your holiday trees and decor:
- Please make sure all ornaments, lights, and other decorations are removed from the trees prior to recycling them.
- Due to the increased amounts of waste and as a courtesy, please remember to flatten all cardboard boxes before placing them in the appropriate dumpsters.
- Bubble wrap and air pillows can be recycled in the Plastic Bag & Film Collection bins at the Bluffton, Hilton Head, Shanklin and St. Helena Convenience Centers.
- Remember to also recycle the grease from your holiday meals. For more information about recycling household grease and other accepted recyclables at the Convenience Centers click here.
