SUMTER, S.C. Litter continues to plague South Carolina streets, homes and roadways, after the pandemic put a pause on many clean up efforts.
Sumter County is hoping to tackle the issue with community clean-up days.
According to Sgt. Kaynnera Capers with the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, they’ve partnering with the city and communities across the county to send a message, “trash of any kind won’t be tolerated.”
“This was a vision of the sheriff,” Sgt. Kaynnera Capers said. “He’s very tired of the trash all over the county, so he wanted to do something big as a unified event with Sumter city.”
