I2recycle Brings Recycling Solutions, Education to Beaufort County, S.C.

Beaufort County, S.C. is working with a new recycling company that will look to teach the area about recycling as well as manage the county’s materials.

I2recycle is coming in to help with the 155,000 tons of trash produced by Beaufort County, of which only 22,000 pounds gets recycled.
