How Your Business Can Help Keep Screven Beautiful

Helping the environment may help your business

  • You may find that installing a recycling container at your business may attract drop-in customers. Shoppers simply put recyclables in the car, along with the dry cleaning or library books.

  • An improved image for your business may make your business or product more attractive.

  • Join the Adopt-a-Highway program

 

Everyone can pitch in to help Keep Screven Beautiful. There are lots of ways that local businesses can help. Here are some ideas:

Store your shredded paper in plastic bags. Call the landfill (863-7480) for pickup.

  • Clean up litter around the business

  • Place trash cans around to discourage litter

  • Place an ashtray at all entrances and exits to discourage cigarette litter

  • Plant flowers, shrubs and trees around the building to beautify the area.

  • Don't throw your "plastic peanuts" into the trash. Plastic loosefill packaging or "plastic peanuts" cannot be recycled, but they can be reused.

Radio Shack in Sylvania and the UPS Store at 715 Northside Drive (K-Mart Plaza) in Statesboro accepts clean packing peanuts. You can also bring your "plastic peanuts" by the Keep Screven Beautiful office. We will distribute them to local businesses.
