Is it legal to throw your pet's poop in neighbor's trash can? What SC law says

It’s trash day in your neighborhood, and you have your can sitting along the curb waiting for pickup. Then along comes a neighbor walking their dog and throws their pet’s bag of feces into your trash can. Putting aside the fact that the act is not very neighborly, is it against the law? South Carolina law says that a person cannot “dump, throw, drop, deposit, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter or other solid waste upon ... private property in the State for which he is not the legal owner or a person otherwise granted permission by the legal owner.” Horry County has separate solid-waste rules , and using someone else’s bin without permission could still prompt a complaint.

Born 94 Years Ago Today in the Tar Heel State, the Golden-Era Honky-Tonk Star Mentored by Ernest Tubb Who Made Grand Ole Opry History

On this day (November 6) in 1932, Stonewall Jackson was born in Tabor City, North Carolina. Stonewall wasn’t a nickname or stage name. Instead, he was named after the famed Confederate General. However, his name is far from the least interesting thing about him. He was the first artist to join the Grand Ole Opry without a record deal.
