Recycling 2012 with HTC
HTC is partnering with the Horry County Solid Waste Authority, Wendy’s, Burroughs & Chapin and Auntie Anne’s for the 2012 directory and cell phone recycling program, March 19 through May 4, 2012. RECYCLING 2012 is the theme of this year’s program to benefit local schools, the community, and the environment. HTC encourages everyone to drop off their old telephone directories (HTC & any other directories accepted) or any used cell phones to an HTC office location in Carolina Forest, Conway, Socastee, Murrells Inlet, Myrtle Beach, Little River, or Loris. The goal is for each partnering school in Horry and Georgetown Counties to collect at least 2,012 directories.
For each directory that is delivered to any HTC branch office location, technology prizes will be awarded based on two criteria: 1) the schools that recycle the most directories and 2) the schools that recycle the most directories based on the number of students in the school. First place ($2,500), second place ($1,000) and third place ($500) prizes will be awarded in each category. Technology prizes will include desktop computers, laptops, smartboards, and more.
For each cell phone recycled, HTC will donate a minimum of $1.00 per phone all the way up to $39 per phone to the Horry County Schools’ Fund for Homeless Students, depending on the model phone recycled.
Plus, each person donating a directory or cell phone will receive a coupon good for a:
- FREE small FROSTY from Wendy's,
- FREE 21 oz. soda with the purchase of pretzel nuggets from Auntie Anne’s, and
- Buy One, Get One for mini-golf and Par 3 facilities from Burroughs & Chapin!
In addition, the top three schools that recycle the most phone books will receive prizes for the top participating class including: Wendy’s FREE Kid’s Meal coupons for the students and teachers in the top class of those schools!

In 2011, 66 public and private schools in Horry and Georgetown Counties participated with over 40,520 directories recycled instead of going into the landfill. Participating schools and local citizens also recycled 568 old cell phones with a value of $521. HTC presented that donation to the Horry County Schools’ fund for Homeless Students. Over the last thirteen years, HTC has contributed more than $119,061.00 needed by participating and winning schools to purchase new technology in the classroom.
