How To Be A Midlands Green Business

August 25, 2020 | Posted By: [email protected]

The Midlands Green Business program is a
partnership between the City of Columbia, Lexington County, Richland County and Keep the Midlands Beautiful. This program is designed to recognize
businesses who adopt sustainable and eco-friendly business practices, thus keeping our community cleaner, greener and making it a more beautiful place
to live.

Why Should Your Business Join the Midlands Green Business Program?

  • It’s free.
  • It’s quick. It only takes 5-10 minutes to complete the online application form.
  • It’s easy. Simply provide basic information about your business and complete a checklist.
  • You’ll get free publicity for your business.

How Does Membership Benefit Your Business?

  • New Lexington County business members are recognized at Lexington County Council meetings, on the County of Lexington Facebook page, on the County
    of Lexington website and on the Keep the Midlands Beautiful website which houses the Midlands Green Business program information.
  • You will receive a decal for your door or window and a certificate to advertise your membership to customers. Being a “green” business attracts
    today’s customers.
