Happy New Year, Charlestonians. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 54,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, CHS.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Erika + Callie

🎄 Recycling your Christmas tree

Recycling your Christmas tree in Charleston

Sure, the holidays are all fun and games — but if you celebrate Christmas, you know that sooner or later you have to deal with that “Night of the Living Dead” tree in the corner. That doesn’t mean it’s dumpster-bound. Instead, we have some tips on how to put an old tree to good use.

Curbside pickup

Some municipalities in Charleston County will recycle your tree for you: all you have to do is bring it out to the curb for your usual pickup day. To make sure it gets properly recycled, you’ll need to remove the tinsel, garland, tree stand + ornaments before bringing it out.

Drop-off recycling

Maybe you just can’t wait for curbside pickup. Drop the tree off yourself at Charleston County’s McGill Bees Ferry Compost Facility or any staffed center — excluding the Signal Point Road location. Be sure to properly secure the tree to your car if you opt for this route. Pro tip: Don’t forget Charleston County Proof of Residency — it’s required.
