On Saturday, March 29th, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) will be conducting a mobile collection service for household hazardous waste in the counties of Franklin, Lawrence, and Weakley. This initiative invites residents throughout Tennessee to safely dispose of various hazardous materials from their homes, including items such as cleaning agents, pesticides, and chemicals used for swimming pools.
Importantly, participation is not limited to residents of the counties where the collection is taking place, allowing a broader community engagement in this environmental effort. For those in Lawrence County, the designated drop-off point will be the Lawrence County Transfer Station, situated on Baler Drive in Lawrenceburg. The collection will be available from 8:00 AM until noon, providing ample time for residents to bring their hazardous waste for proper disposal.
For further details or inquiries, individuals can reach out to Gary Wayne Hyde at the contact number 931-766-4469. This initiative represents a significant step towards promoting safe environmental practices and ensuring that hazardous materials are handled responsibly.
