HTC Cares About the Environment!
HTC is taking action to lessen its environmental impact through new and existing initiatives designed to benefit customers and will continue to explore ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.
HTC Awarded Green Plus Membership |
HTC was recently recognized by the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce as a charter member of Green Plus.
The Green Plus program was developed by the Institute for Sustainable Development to help organizations access their performance in environmental and community stewardship and create sustainability plans.
Sustainability is a global trend and HTC is very excited about enhancing the green initiatives especially developed for the benefit of our customers and our environment. |

- View, download or print the same information online that's on your paper statement.
- View old statements FREE. We keep your statements for 18 months.
- Help the environment by cutting down on paper.
- Reduce mail and paper cluttering your home.
- Resume receiving your paper bill at any time.
- Go completely paperless and pay online with a checking account.
Credit will be applied to the account in the amount of $2.00 or to the amount that is being drafted, whichever is less.
HTC has taken a leadership role in reducing its eco-footprint with annual directory and cell phone recycling efforts in the spring. Since 1998, 692 tons of directories have been recycled and more than 20,000 cell phones have been recycled in the last five years instead of going into landfills.
This green initiative also equals green for local public and private schools because HTC awards 1st, 2nd and 3rd place technology prizes (valued up to $2,500) and $1.00 for every cell phone recycled to the Horry County Schools' Fund for homeless students. Over the last 11 years, HTC has contributed more than $105,000 to public and private schools in Horry and Georgetown Counties on behalf of recycling efforts. |

HTC is transitioning from plastic bags to paper bags that are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Customers will receive paper bags instead of plastic bags when purchasing cell phones, accessories, DVRs and other equipment.
