The Mount Pleasant Town Council meeting earlier this week featured a newly-adopted wetland ordinance that will protect water-saturated ecosystems (i.e. marshes, swaps, bogs, etc.) from being built on. The initiative sparked concerns from single-family homeowners relative to their ability to add a patio, shed, ADU or backyard fence to their property.

🚨 THIS IS CAUSING FIRES 🚨

Many fires are caused by batteries being thrown in the trash.

When you toss batteries in your garbage, you’re putting sanitation workers and firefighters at risk. These batteries can spark, ignite, and turn a routine pickup into a dangerous fire in seconds.

⚠️ Don’t throw batteries in the trash.

Dispose of them safely at:

🔋 Batteries Plus
📍 1983 N Highway 17, Mount Pleasant, SC

🔋 Charleston County Recycling – Awendaw
📍 6380 Maxville Road, Awendaw, SC

🔥 One battery can start a fire. Do the right thing. ♻️

More restorations and repairs.

We like to keep treasures like these out of the landfill.

Why throw away lamp that just needs a little love and attention?

Bring it to us!

Most common lamp repairs are less than $50!

Understandably, some folks are comparing that to a tank of gas.

The difference is the gas gets you somewhere once. The lamp lets you see where you already are.

Repeatedly.

Also worth noting: the lamp doesn’t idle, doesn’t break down on the side of the road, and has yet to care what the price per gallon is this week.

In this economy, having something that consistently works when you turn it on feels less like a luxury and more like a plan.

It’s a lamp. It just does its job. Like it’s supposed to.

We tend to respect that around here.
