Recycling in Oak Ridge and Tennessee

Did you ever want to know where the stuff you put in your recycling bins end up? Or what you really should or should not put in your recycling bin? Ever wonder how much stuff the average American puts in a landfill each year? Dr. Graham is a passionate expert on local recycling issues and the environmental impact of recycling. She will also bring us up to date on local actions as well as proposed state legislation to increase recycling and get the billions of dollars’ worth of cardboard, aluminum, and glass currently going into TN landfills to the TN companies that need those resources.
