On November 15th, 2024, Governor Bill Lee officially designated the day as “Recycling Awareness Day” in the state of Tennessee. This proclamation serves to highlight the importance of recycling and sustainability within the community. In conjunction with this announcement, Governor Lee presented a Certificate of Appreciation to the Tennessee Recycling Coalition (TRC), acknowledging the dedication and hard work of its staff and Board of Directors in promoting recycling initiatives throughout the state.
The Tennessee Recycling Coalition plays a crucial role in educating the public about recycling practices and encouraging participation across Tennessee. Their mission is to serve as a valuable resource for all residents, irrespective of their organizational ties, by providing information on recycling and creating a collaborative network that emphasizes education and the exchange of effective strategies.
It is noteworthy that America Recycles Day, which was established in 1994, is part of a broader initiative led by Keep America Beautiful, aimed at fostering a culture of recycling and environmental stewardship across the nation.
