Here's an effort we can all get behind to reduce the need to bury our trash and stop expanding the footprint (and height!) of landfills.
The Tennessee Waste to Jobs Act, introduced in the 2025 Legislative session, is Tennessee's first Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation which shifts the cost of recycling from taxpayer to brands/producers by making them responsible for the entire lifecycle of their packaging.
Action on this legislation was deferred in the Senate Government Operations Committee to 2026, so get ready to advocate for its passage!
