Nissan & Tennessee Environmental Council Team Up for Recycling Roundup Event

Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) and Nissan North America are teaming up again for the second annual Recycling Roundup. Middle Tennessee residents and those from surrounding areas are invited to bring their hard-to-recycle items to Nissan Headquarters on Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 9 am to 1 pm. Accepted items include electronics, tires, scrap metal, textiles, mattresses, glass bottles, Styrofoam blocks, pet supplies, and more. For a detailed list of accepted materials and any item limitations, visit tectn.org/nissanroundup.

TEC, a statewide non-profit organization, aims to reduce illegal dumping and litter across Tennessee while decreasing reliance on landfills through events like the Recycling Roundup. The event, free and open to all residents, is made possible by the partnership with Nissan North America. Additional Roundups are planned for this year through grant funding from the EPA and TDOT. Stay updated on upcoming events by visiting TEC’s website and social media channels.

Last year's Recycling Roundup attracted 316 residents and collected nearly 33,000 pounds of recyclable materials. 

Spring Hill Firefighters Rescue Pets, Contain Blaze at Worthington Glen Apartments

The Spring Hill Fire Department responded quickly to a fire at Worthington Glen Apartments, rescuing pets and containing the blaze. Fortunately, the fire broke out when no residents were home, but beloved pets were present, prompting firefighters to act quickly. With the help of the sprinkler system, the fire was contained, preventing casualties and minimizing damage to neighboring units. While the third-floor apartment suffered fire damage, lower units experienced water damage. The Fire Marshal determined the fire likely started from a stove turned on by one of the cats. Worthington Glen management is relocating affected residents to other apartments within the complex while repairs are underway.
