Beaufort County Solid Waste & Recycle held an art contest in recognition of America Recycles Day and have announced that Beaufort Elementary School 5th grader Vivian Dang is the winner.

Her winning design will be displayed on a billboard in Beaufort County and will help promote the three Rs of recycling: reduce, reuse and recycle.

The contest was open to students of Beaufort County grades 2-8. Students were asked to submit artwork that displayed a clear message to recycle in Beaufort County. Other entries can be found here.

SC DHEC established a goal to reach a 40% recycle rate by 2020. As of 2020 the rate was 25.5%. We encourage residents and visitors of Beaufort County to know the facts and recycle right.

Funding for the billboard was provided by a grant through SC DHEC.
