🏕️ HELP US KEEP MONCKS CORNER SAFE & CLEAN 🏕️

Unauthorized camping within the Town of Moncks Corner is not permitted and is not an acceptable use of public spaces or private property without proper authorization.

These camps can create serious concerns for public health, safety, and the environment, including increased fire risks, sanitation issues, property damage, and restricted access to parks, sidewalks, and other community areas. Addressing unauthorized camping is important to protecting both those involved and the residents, businesses, and visitors who use these spaces every day.

The Town of Moncks Corner has an ordinance prohibiting unauthorized camping on public property and most private property within town limits.

This ordinance is intended to help protect public health and safety, reduce fire and environmental hazards, and ensure that public spaces remain accessible for everyone. Unauthorized camping generally includes setting up tents, shelters, or living accommodations on property without permission or legal authorization.

We understand that many individuals facing homelessness or difficult circumstances need assistance, and our goal is not simply enforcement.We want to identify issues, connect people with available resources when possible, and address concerns before they become larger health and safety problems.

If you are aware of any homeless camps, unauthorized camping locations, or areas where individuals may be living outdoors within the Town of Moncks Corner, please let us know. Your information helps us:

✅ Address public health and safety concerns
✅ Connect individuals with available resources and services
✅ Protect public and private property
✅ Maintain the quality of life for our residents and businesses

You can send us a private message, call the Moncks Corner Police Department 843-719-7930, or report concerns through non-emergency line at Berkeley County Central dispatch 843-719-4506.

Working together, we can help keep our community safe, clean, and connected while ensuring those in need are identified and offered available assistance.

🚔 Buckle Up, Every Trip, Every Time 🚔

A seat belt is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself in a crash. Whether you’re driving across town or just down the street, taking a few seconds to buckle up can save your life.

✔️ Drivers and passengers should always wear their seat belts.
✔️ Make sure children are properly secured in the correct car seat or booster seat.
✔️ Buckle up before putting the vehicle in gear not after.

Most crashes happen close to home and when least expected. Don’t take the risk.

Click it. Buckle it. Make it home.

We are grateful to Kayla for sharing her knowledge and providing valuable information that helps support the well-being of our employees.
