The ultimate recycling program reuses pets

When you think about the Aiken SPCA, you probably don’t think about recycling. However, being environmentally responsible through a variety of ways such as recycling is a big part of the culture.

At the shelter, we recycle all cardboard, plastic bottles, paper, aluminum cans, metal, wood and anything else that we can keep out of a landfill. Our supporters even bring us their aluminum cans to recycle and earn money to help run our shelter.

Another recycling program is our thrift store at 220 Park Ave. in beautiful downtown Aiken.

The building is many years old and had many other uses before we moved in.

Everything in the store is recycled after originally being bought new by someone who donated to us once they didn’t need it anymore. Then someone else comes along and gives that item new life, keeping it out of a local landfill and raising money to support the shelter at the same time.

Many of you know that the thrift store is the SPCA’s single largest source of income for the shelter. Recycling with a thrift store is not only a good thing to do, but we couldn’t survive as an agency without it.
