Tennessee Waste to Jobs Act

The Tennessee Waste-to-Jobs Act (Senate Bill 0269 / House Bill 0600), was well received by the Senate Energy, Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee in the Legislature's 114th Session and was considered over the Summer by a task force. It is a critical part of the solution to our solid waste problems. The Chapter is working hard to get it passed. Watch this informative video to learn more:
