CLARKSVILLE, TN – Bi-County Solid Waste Management worked with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to host three Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events in 2024. The first HHW event will be held on Saturday, March 16, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Veterans Plaza, at 350 Pageant Lane. The second HHW event will be held on May 18, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Stewart County and the third HHW event will be held on September 28, at Veterans Plaza from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
