The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) mobile household hazardous waste collection service will be in Cumberland County on Saturday, October 12th at the Community Complex on Livingston Road in Crossville from 8am to 1 pm. It’s free and no appointment is necessary for household hazardous waste collection.
Tennesseans are encouraged to bring household hazardous waste – including cleaning fluids, pesticides, swimming pool chemicals and more. You do not have to live in Cumberland County to participate.
Items not accepted include ammunition, explosives, alkaline batteries, paint, electronics, and any empty containers that should be disposed in normal trash.
While household hazardous waste may be disposed for free, there is a cost for disposal of wastes from non-household sources such as businesses, schools, farms, and churches. An appointment is also necessary for non-household waste. Call (615) 643-3170 to request a price quote and schedule an appointment.
