Vehicles line up to dispose of hazardous waste at Justice Center.
Its spring time and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is sponsoring its yearly Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day for Loudon County residents. Spring is here and this is your opportunity to dispose of hazardous materials such as old paint cans in a safe environmentally responsible way. This is a great way of disposing of toxic materials, which we may have in our homes, garages and sheds. Pass the word to your family and friends, please collect your hazardous waste and bring it to the Justice Center this Saturday, April 18th. A list of items is posted below along with a website for additional information.
