Recycling Program

How to Recycle in Tullahoma

For your convenience, containers are also available for collection of regular garbage at the center.

Recyclables consist of cardboard, plastics, metals (including refrigerators, stoves, etc.) aluminum cans, tin cans, used motor oil, transmission fluids, antifreeze, fluorescent bulbs, water base paint and newsprint.

Wood, tires, and car parts other than used batteries, should not be brought to the center.

Residential curbside recycling for plastic, aluminum cans, tin and bi-metal food cans, newsprint and corrugated cardboard is collected from home addresses weekly coinciding with regularly scheduled garbage collection days. Please sort and bag items per category. Remove caps and lids and break down corrugated cardboard. Place recyclables curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the morning of your pick-up.

Commercial cardboard is collected from commercial customers at no cost to the business.
