Fortunately, others are stepping up to plug the gap being left by the County\u2019s bizarre, environmentally unfriendly decision.  This last weekend, Waste Management and the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) teamed up to stage an electronic recycling event.  \u201cIt is very important for people to try and get rid of items now as opposed to after July (the first),\u201d said Waste Management municipal and community relations manager Fran Plyler prior to the event.  \u201cThis is their opportunity to grab all those materials and have it recycled.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waste Management and the Department of Health and Environmental Control are planning to stage similar events after the County recycling sites cease, taking such goods themselves in July.  \u201cThese are items that are not good for the environment, so we\u2019re trying to protect our environment as well,\u201d notes Plyler.<\/p>\n

Janet McClellan, who works on one of Waste Management\u2019s dump sites, says she is trying to get as many people to recycle before the deadline as possible.  \u201cThe more you recycle and reuse, and the less that goes in the landfill, the less land it fills up,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
