Ousley said she has long felt that recycling provides a great value by reusing material rather than sending it to a landfill.
"I have been doing it for as long as the City has made it available," she said.
The Recycler of the Month award provided Ousley with a $25 gift card to Bizzell's, found at 137 E. Carolina Ave. in Hartsville, as well as a real-estate-style sign announcing the award.
The award program is part of an effort to promote the recycling partnership of Sonoco and the City of Hartsville. Next month, the City will choose another winner. To learn more about City of Hartsville pick-up schedules and what recyclable materials are accepted, or to request a recycling roll cart, call Environmental Services at 843.383.3019.
