Since 1973, TEC has been convening community gatherings to explore solutions to critical environmental issues facing Tennessee.
The purpose of this year’s Policy & Practice Forum is to foster a constructive community dialogue about solid waste solutions, with a focus on diverting valuable materials from landfills and promoting a circular economy in Tennessee.
We are inviting community and industry leaders, public officials, and organizations with expertise in solid waste issues and an interest in developing comprehensive solutions.
