Earth day isn't over. At TRC, we believe Earth Day is every day.

Though we have accomplished a lot, there is still plenty of work to be done to promote reuse and recycling activities in Tennessee.

If you are a part of our advocacy team, thank you! If you aren't, please consider joining today!

With an individual membership for just $50, all TRC webinars and networking events are complimentary. We'd love to have you as a part of our member base. Without help from our sponsors and members, we couldn't do what we do.

This is a team effort.

What do Clayton Homes and Pickwick State Park

have in common?

Composting sheetrock, of course!

Join TRC as we host a webinar with Clayton Homes, Pickwick Landing State Park, and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to explore this newest partnership. Learn why adding sheetrock to a compost pile may be beneficial and how this private, public partnership began. 

You don't want to miss how this win-win partnership began to reduce waste from landfills and reduce carbon emissions and how it can be duplicated

across the state.
