COLUMBIA — PalmettoPride, in partnership with the South Carolina Litter Control Association, hosts an annual Litter Summit every September for Keep South Carolina Beautiful affiliates, litter prevention professionals, and law enforcement officers to gather and receive program updates and professional development trainings.
As South Carolina’s anti-litter organization, PalmettoPride manages the Keep South Carolina Beautiful (KSCB) program and provides technical and financial support to local affiliates of Keep America Beautiful® (KAB). This support allows affiliates across South Carolina to create and maintain successful litter reduction and beautification programs. In addition to networking opportunities, the annual Litter Summit features an awards luncheon to honor leaders in litter prevention across the Palmetto State.
Representatives from KAB attended the Summit to honor the recipients of the 2023 President’s Circle Awards. The award recognizes exemplary performance by certified affiliates of Keep America Beautiful in creating clean, green, and beautiful communities. Affiliates recognized with this award have met standards of merit of KAB by conducting an annual Community Appearance Index; administering initiatives to end littering, improve recycling, and beautify the community; and other standards related to the mission and vision of KAB.
