Julia Fisher is the City of Hartsville’s Recycler of the Month for April.
Fisher said she has been an enthusiastic recycler for much of her life, estimating that recyclable materials make up about 70 percent of the waste collected from her residence. Conserving resources and finding new uses for materials, she said, is an important part of sustainable living.
“I recycle everything I possibly can,” she said.
The Recycler of the Month award provided Fisher with a $25 gift card to the Midnight Rooster Coffee Shop, Courtyard and Eatery, found at 136 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.
