Recycling 2009 with HTC - Results Over 70,000 phone books recycled and $11,040 raised for area schools! The RECYCLING 2009 recycling program is over, and the results have been tallied! Thanks to a great community effort, the project was another great success this year. During the campaign, participating schools and area citizens in Horry and Georgetown counties were encouraged to recycle old HTC or Verizon phone books and old cell phones. In return, schools received 15 cents for each directory recycled on their behalf, a FREE 12 OZ. FROSTY from Wendy’s® and buy one-get one free coupons for Marble Slab, Auntie Anne’s and Jungle Fun at Coastal Grand Mall! |

Last year, 60 public and private schools in Horry and Georgetown counties participated and raised $10,342.90 to benefit their schools. This year, 64 public and private schools in Horry and Georgetown counties participated and raised $11,040.00 to benefit their schools. Over 70,000 phone books were recycled, which means over 70 tons of directories were recycled instead of going into the landfill. Participating schools also recycled 395 old cell phones. HTC will donate $400.00 (included in the total above) to the Horry County Schools’ fund for Homeless Students. Over the last eleven years, HTC has contributed more than $105,443.60 needed by participating schools to purchase new computer software and to upgrade equipment.
Winning for the third time is Conway Middle School by recycling 9,989 directories. Coming in 2nd Place for the first time was St. Michael’s Catholic School with 7,899 directories, and North Myrtle Beach Middle School came in 3rd place by recycling 5,955 directories. In addition to the monetary donation, these schools will enjoy kid's meals compliments of Wendy's.
Special thanks to our partners - Wendy's, the Horry County Solid Waste Authority and Coastal Grand Mall. Thank you to everyone for another successful recycling program!
