Keep South Carolina Wild
March 06, 2023
We are grateful to the 25 volunteers who joined SCWF staff for this year’s litter sweep at Archer’s Lake in Irmo, SC on Saturday, March 4th. This project was a partnership between the Harbison Community Association, Palmetto Pride, and the South Carolina Aquarium.
This litter sweep was a huge success with over 5,000 items of litter removed from the lake and shorelines of this urban pond! Thank you for making it a cleaner and safer habitat for waterfowl, wading birds, and songbirds.
The litter that was removed was recorded on SCWF’s page on the SC Aquarium’s “Litter Free Digital Journal” program. Check out the links below to see the impact of this litter sweep:

We also encourage you to organize your own sweep and record the data. This will help make our state a cleaner place for wildlife and people!
