Tennessee Environmental Council Supports TWTJ
The Tennessee Waste To Jobs Act is a funding mechanism that will generate millions of dollars toward recycling infrastructure and education—at no cost to the taxpayer. This legislation creates thousands of jobs, helps solve our landfill crisis, reduces reliance on foreign materials, and protects local jobs and industries by establishing markets for the waste we’re currently paying to throw into landfills.
