Nearly 150 volunteers participated in the inaugural Johns Island Spring Clean Up Day this weekend, tackling litter along six busy roads.
Event Highlights
Organized by Charleston City Councilman Jim McBride with support from Keep Charleston Beautiful, Adopt-A-Highway, city/county staff, Charleston PD, SCDOT, and Palmetto Pride, teams cleared trash from high-traffic routes like Main Road and River Road. Local businesses including HCA Healthcare Trident Hospital joined, emphasizing community pride in the rapidly growing area.​
Councilman’s Take
McBride noted Johns Island’s roadside trash buildup due to hard-to-maintain shoulders, calling the coordinated first-time effort a success that showcased teamwork between residents, agencies, and groups. No injury or weather issues reported; plans likely for future events amid spring cleanup season.
Great local initiative near your Charleston-area interests—shows strong community spirit!
