South Carolina Litter Control Enforcement Program
From trash on the highways to illegal dumping in parks and public lands, litter is a significant and costly problem in South Carolina. The cost of cleaning it up is a drain on the state's resources. Litter also has a negative impact on tourism and our ability to attract new businesses and industries and the jobs they create. By designating a dollar or more of your income tax payment to the fight against litter, you can help support the enforcement of litter laws and help us catch those that trash our beautiful state.
