♻️ South Carolina Businesses: Your Recycling Data Matters!

We’re asking businesses to participate in the Fiscal Year 2026 Smart Business Recycling Program Report Survey—currently South Carolina’s only way of collecting statewide business recycling data.

Your participation helps SCDES better understand recycling needs and resources across the state.

📅 You can now submit your recycling data by November 1, 2026 to qualify to apply for the SC Smart Business Recycling Awards Program and have your efforts recognized through SCDES social media, web platforms, and an awards presentation.

📧 Interested or have questions? Email [email protected] for more information!

On-line reporting is also available for free through ReTRAC. Visit https://des.sc.gov/smartbiz and click on “How do I submit recycling data and awards applications?” for details.
To be eligible to apply to be a Smart Business Award Winner, you must first submit the survey.

Let’s work together to strengthen recycling across South Carolina! 🌎♻️
