Overton County will host a household hazardous waste collection event on Saturday.
Residents and non-residents can participate by bringing hazardous items to the fairgrounds until Noon. Disposable items include cleaning fluids, pesticides, batteries and more.
“We encourage all Tennesseans with eligible materials to participate in this no-cost program,” TDEC Commissioner David Salyers said. “This is a way to dispose of common hazardous materials in an environmentally responsible way.”
Since the program’s inception in 1993, 350,000 Tennessee households have properly disposed of more than 22 million pounds of material.
You can find additional information about the event by visiting the state’s website.
The Overton County Fairgrounds is located at 615 Monterey Highway (Hwy 84), Livingston. The event starts at 8 a.m.
