Welcome to PalmettoPride
South Carolina’s Legislative Initiative to Clean Up Litter
PalmettoPride is a non-profit organization formed by a legislative initiative to fight litter and help beautify South Carolina. PalmettoPride is continually working towards a clean South Carolina through four main focus areas: education, enforcement, awareness and pickup. Our volunteers have cleaned up over 27 Million tons of trash and we have successfully reduced litter on South Carolina interstates by 59%.
In response to the number of citizens concerned with the state of litter in South Carolina, PalmettoPride was created by Senator David L. Thomas and established in its original format by executive order under Governor Hodges in 1999. It began as the Governor’s Task Force on Beautification and Litter aimed at bringing citizens and government groups together to eliminate litter. Read more »
