Let’s Go Green!
This event in Beaufort County is a fantastic initiative for the environment, considering electronic waste is a major problem worldwide. Electronic waste is often just dumped in landfill sites, where it can leak harmful chemicals into the ground. So why not do your bit to help out? Not only will you be freeing up some much-needed space at home, but you’ll also be doing our planet a huge favor.
Remember, every little bit counts when it comes to saving our planet. So let’s all do our part to keep our beautiful Beaufort clean and green!
