20 Years Serving Knoxville’s Recycling Needs
The Knoxville Recycling Coalition is a local, non-profit organization in Knoxville, Tennessee that has focused on environmentally sound waste management practices for over 20 years.
We offer a multi-material recycling service to businesses, churches, schools and other civic groups and we provide education for any one who would like it. We also attend many community events to pass out recycling information and hold quarterly paper collection for residents to bring their personal documents for secure destruction and recycling.
