Recycling Available to Goose Creek, Hanahan Residents

Recycling is now a lot more convenient for homeowners in Goose Creek and Hanahan. Residents in the two communities, as well as Daniel Island, will be able to sign up for recycling service.

The program costs an additional $7.50 per quarter. That's an extra $30 a year or a little less than 58 cents a week. Goose Creek residents who sign-up will receive the service on each Wednesday.
