Phyllis Griggs is the City of Hartsville’s Recycler of the Month for December 2014.
A longtime recycler, she said she pays careful attention to what kinds of packaging can be recycled, and keeps a bin in her kitchen set aside for those items. Her recycling roll cart, she said, fills up more often than her garbage bin.
“I guess I just feel like it’s the right thing to do. Why throw something away that can be reused?” Griggs said.
As the Recycler of the Month, Griggs received a yard sign as well as a gift certificate to Bizzell’s Food &a Spirits, 137 E. Carolina Ave. in Hartsville.
The award program highlights those city residents participating in the City of Hartsville’s recycling program, a partnership between the City and Sonoco.
