The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation announced that $1.3 million in grants for solid waste management convenience centers and used automotive oil collection were approved for upgrades and recycling.

The grant programs encourage and support local communities in meeting solid waste and recycling goals. Local governments can divert more waste from landfills through infrastructure upgrades and provide convenient opportunities for residents to get engaged in the process.

The convenience center grants are available for Tennessee counties that need financial assistance to replace and eliminate green boxes, establish new convenience centers in underserved areas, or upgrade existing sites.

Locally, grants were awarded to…. Marshall County $98,643, Lawrence County $187,920, and the Wayne County Highway Department $34,968.
