Jimmie Lucky is the City of Hartsville’s Recycler of the Month for January.
A United States Army veteran of more than 21 years, Lucky said he first picked up the habit of recycling from military regulations. Now, he sorts out recyclable cardboard, plastic and other materials in his home and in his work.
“I have always recycled,” he said.
The Recycler of the Month award provided Lucky with a $25 gift card to the Depot Diner, 128 E. College Ave., 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.
