Department Functions

SCDHEC has set the recycling goal of 35-percent for all counties and waste reduction goal of 3.5 pounds per person per day. To comply with that goal Jasper County has established six drop-off centers throughout the county. These centers provide citizens with a convenient means for the disposal and collection of solid waste. Citizens have the opportunity to get involved in waste reduction through the recycling program.
