Tullahoma, TN – In an effort to promote sustainability and reduce landfill waste, the Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) is hosting a Recycling Roundup Event on Saturday, March 1, at Waggoner Park from 9 AM to 1 PM.
Residents can drop off hard-to-recycle items such as tires, mattresses, Styrofoam, scrap metal, electronics, and more—all free of charge. The event is part of TEC’s broader mission to reduce litter and illegal dumping while encouraging responsible recycling practices.
Funded by an EPA environmental justice grant and TDOT funding, the event is open to all surrounding residents, though businesses are not allowed to participate. While the service is free, donations are appreciated to help sustain future events.

Electronics, Scrap Metal, Batteries
