JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) — Nearly 150 volunteers united for Johns Island Spring Clean Up Day this weekend.
Teams fanned out to pick up roadside litter along six of the island’s busiest roads. The inaugural effort was organized by Charleston City Councilman Jim McBride with support from city and county staff, along with Keep Charleston Beautiful and Adopt-A-Highway. Community groups and local businesses, including HCA Healthcare Trident Hospital, also pitched in with the shared goal of making Johns Island cleaner and greener.
