Tennessee Environmental Council is back to host a second Recycling Roundup in Davidson County. Local residents and surrounding community members are encouraged to bring their hard-to-recycle items to a Roundup coming to Harding-Ezell Christian School on Saturday May 4th, from 9 am to 1 pm. Residents may bring electronics, tires, scrap metal, mattresses, food and beverage glass bottles, blocks of Styrofoam, pet supplies, medications and more. Secure paper shredding will also be on site. Visit tectn.org/antiochroundup for a detailed list of materials that will be accepted at the event, as well as any item limitations.
This event is one of many being organized by Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC), a statewide non-profit organization. TEC’s goal with these events is to reduce illegal dumping and litter across Tennessee, while reducing the public’s reliance on landfills. This event is free and open to all residents, and is made possible through a partnership with TDOT (Tennessee Department of Transportation). Additional Roundups will take place this year through grant funding with TDOT as well as with funding from the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Stay tuned to TEC’s website and social media channels for the latest information.
“These Roundups make it easy and convenient for residents to recycle,” says Abby Schneider, TEC’s Recycle Tennessee Program Director. “We look forward to providing an opportunity to educate community members with recycling resources that they may be unaware of,” says Schneider.
