Save the Date for Public Meetings on Tennessee's Proposed Solid Waste Plan
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) is hosting its second round of public participation in the process for developing the 2015-2025 Statewide Integrated Solid Waste and Materials Management Plan. This plan will determine how the state handles solid waste, including recyclable materials and hazardous waste.
It is incredibly important that they hear from us! There hasn't been much opportunity for public input thus far, and not a single meeting has been held in an area directly-affected by landfills.
Please try to attend one of the following meetings, if possible, or submit written comments to solid.waste@tn.gov. More information, including talking points, will be coming from SOCM's E3 Committee in the coming days. In the meantime, you can familiarize yourself with the process by visiting the plan's site.
