FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 13, 2025 COLUMBIA, S.C. — No holiday is more associated with food and leftovers than Thanksgiving, which is why the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) encourages the public to take an active role in directing food waste out of our landfills and, ideally, into the hands of a food-insecure family. Food waste is the number one item thrown…, said Savannah Murray, Don't Waste Food SC Coordinator, . “If you’re hosting a meal or bringing food to an event, know how many people you’re expecting, and only prepare the amount of food you need. Another key tip is to bring along reusable containers for people to take home leftovers.” Other ways to cut back on food and food-packaging waste include: , Do a head count., Knowing how many people to prepare food for helps reduce the amount of prepared but unneeded food. , Check your pantry first., You may have several of the ingredients you need already in your pantry or deep freeze – use them up first before you purchase more. , Know your menu., Plan ahead for the specific dishes you’ll make and only buy the ingredients required for each dish. , Use reusable containers., Instead of plastic wrap and aluminum foil, put leftovers into reuseable containers that your guests can either keep as a small holiday present or return to you, if requested. Single-use plastic wraps and foils can significantly contribute to household waste. , Compost., If you can’t donate or reuse your leftovers, try composting. Sending food waste to a composting facility or composting at home can improve soil health and structure, increase water retention, support native plants and reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides. SCDES provides composting tips at des.sc.gov/composting. While prepared leftovers can’t be donated to local food pantries or banks…, said Murray., “Anyone fortunate enough to have unneeded food items this Thanksgiving can visit our Don’t Waste Food SC webpage to find food donation programs in their community. There’s no bigger win for your community or the environment than to make the extra effort to give unneeded food a local food bank." Helpful guidelines about food donation as well as a link to food pantries in the state are available…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 12, 2025 COLUMBIA, S.C. – In celebration of America Recycles Day on Saturday, the S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) thanks residents, local governments, businesses, schools, colleges, universities and other organizations for doing their part to make recycling work in South Carolina. Recycling prevents pollution and conserves natural resources while…, said Myra Reece, SCDES director, . “Recycling is a South Carolina success story. But there is always more work to be done, especially with our state being one of the fastest-growing in the nation.” Overall, South Carolina has recycled more than 30.2 million tons of material since fiscal year 2000. That number is the equivalent to more than 4.2 million garbage trucks of waste recycled rather than disposed of at landfills –…, Reece said., “We’re asking our residents and businesses to waste less by learning about what can be recycled within your community and participate in your local recycling program.” SCDES offers easy-to-use resources about recycling – including what, where, and how to recycle right – at des.sc.gov/recycleheresc and des.sc.gov/recyclerightsc . In addition, residents can download the free statewide Recycle…
