MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (August 8, 2016) - Charleston County Adopt-A-Highway will hold its next litter cleanup on Saturday, September 10. In case of bad weather, the cleanup will be held on Saturday, September 17.
Throughout the county, volunteers will be picking up trash on our roadsides during the cleanup event. Volunteers can pick up supplies on Wednesday, September 7 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at S.C.
