MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (March 8, 2019) – Town businesses are reminded that the single-use plastic ban ordinance passed last April will come into effect next month, on April 16. The new ordinance addresses environmentally acceptable packaging and products, like carry-out bags and plastic straws.
“The momentum to minimize single-use plastic in our business community is strong,” said Business Development Manager John Holladay. “With our local economy and recreation being so dependent on our environment and waterways, we urge our businesses to Be the Solution, Stop the Pollution”
Holladay highlighted the resources the Town has expanded to facilitate the transition. To review the ordinance, visit the municipal website at www.tompsc.com.
