Veritas Preparatory School Service Day
Veritas Preparatory School teamed up with Greenville County’s Litter Ends Here and Friends of the Reedy River to hold a community service day! Students cleaned several locations along the Swamp Rabbit Trail and at Oak Grove Lake.
The impacts of this cleanup go beyond cleaning our community because it has brought litter awareness and education to so many kids!
If your school or youth group would like to volunteer, please contact the Litter Prevention Coordinator, Summer Gagnon, at sgagnon@greenvillecounty.org.
Love Taylors Day
Thank you to Taylors First Baptist Church for their amazing litter cleanup of E Main Street in Taylors! Together these volunteers removed 960lbs of litter from the roadside in just a few hours.

The team over at Meritage Homes took to East Standing Springs on Earth Day to pick up litter! This hardworking team removed an estimated 340lbs in just a few hours.
Business volunteer groups are so essential to help build a litter-free culture in Greenville County.
Washing up in the WaterGoat
This is a first! A backpack washed into the WaterGoat trash trap at Oak Grove Lake. Greenville County Litter Ends Here crew members cautiously opened the bag to see what was inside and found boxing gloves and gear but couldn’t find any information that would lead us to the owner.
