Street Sign Replacement Program
|
To meet Federal Highway Administration requirements, the Mount Pleasant Transportation and Public Services departments have partnered in a joint street sign replacement program. The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years. The Street Sign Replacement Program will include all street signs within the Town, with the exclusion of private roads and sideways. Existing signs will be removed if they are considered redundant or do not meet standards. Additional signs may be added where deemed applicable.

| Winter Weather Prep- Are You Ready? |
The Town of Mount Pleasant, along with the South Carolina Emergency Management Division and the National Weather Service, encourages everyone to prepare for severe weather.
"While the Lowcountry area normally experiences mild winters, Mount Pleasant can still be hit with extreme winter weather," said Mount Pleasant Emergency Manager Amanda Knight. "Two years ago, Winter Storm Grayson brought significant ice and snow to our area, immobilizing an entire region for days. Preparation is key with winter weather, much like we prepare for hurricanes, or any other type of disaster."

| Go Green This Holiday Season |
To recycle Christmas trees and greenery, follow these instructions:
- Remember to remove all decorations such as lights, tinsel, ornaments, etc.
- Some municipalities will pick them up curbside, or they can be taken to a convenience center. The trees picked up curbside are transported to the Bees Ferry Compost Facility to be ground and composted.
All paper, including gift wrapping, cardboard and other products (plastic bottles & containers, glass bottles & jars and aluminum & steel cans) can also be recycled through the curbside program and at the numerous
drop-site locations and convenience centers located throughout the County. The convenience centers also accept used motor oil, used electronics (televisions, printers, monitors and computers only), household hazardous materials, batteries, paint, and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).
