Thursday morning Myrtle Beach International Airport launched a new recycling program, collecting plastic and paper items.

The airport placed 12 specially marked bins throughout high-traffic areas at the airport terminal. The bins were provided through a grant from the South Carolina Department of Health and Control.

The program is in cooperation with the Horry County Solid Waste Authority.

Myrtle Beach International Airport becomes the third airport in the state to start a recycling initiative.

MYR Recycling = Trash

Posted by Peter Hemsel, Myrtle Beach - Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 3:07 p.m.

The bins have been in place nearly two weeks. Since the test program was in place it was okay for the clean up crew to take the recyclables and trash together and dump them all in the same trash container outside the terminal.
This final handling is still going to be a part of the ways things are done at the airport until someone calls them on it.

Tourism Recycling

Hotels/condos could contribute by providing their guests with a recycling opportunity for tourists to recycle their glass beer bottles, plastic water bottles and their empty 2 liters.

Our area is greatly impacted by tourists contributing TONS of recyclable products anually into our local landfill, which leaves us taxpayers having to search and pay for more landfill space down the road. The less we dump at the landfill, the longer the space there will last. Every citizen and business should participate.

Many tourists visiting our area already have recycling programs "back home" and are accustomed to recycling.
