On April 27, 2024, the DEA will make it easy for you to dispose of your unused tablets, capsules, patches and other solid forms of prescription drugs. By safely removing unneeded medications from your home, you can help prevent prescriptions from ending up in the wrong hands.

Take a moment to clean out your medicine cabinet. Then visit one of the 5,000 local drop-off locations nationwide to safely and anonymously drop off any of your old or unused prescriptions from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

DID YOU KNOW? If you have a storm drain near your property, the City requires you to clear leaves and debris (within reason) from the opening.

Due to the New Year’s Day holiday, recycling pickup is delayed one day. It will be on Saturday, January 6th.

Charleston County provides a handy address lookup on their website – you can input your address and it will give you your next recycling collection date:

Did you know that older Charleston neighborhoods have special street signs with their symbols included in the design? As the city replaces the old signs, they slowly disappear, but we still have some in our neighborhood. Our symbol is a green line (park) connected to blue waves (shore).
