Thank you to the City of Chattanooga for being our partner for The Sunny Sounds of Christmas!
In partnership with NewTerra Composting and Overlooked Materials, the city will offer curbside food waste composting and glass recycling collection to select residents, with the initial rollout focused primarily in the Brainerd area.
These pilot programs are designed to address two major contributors to landfill waste:
- Food waste, which accounts for almost 25% of landfill content and is the third largest source of methane emissions nationwide.
- Glass, 90% of which ends up in landfills, despite being fully recyclable and locally reusable in construction, stormwater management, tile production, and more.
Participation in both pilot programs is voluntary and requires sign-up directly through the partner organizations’ websites. Participation is only open to residents. Businesses are not eligible.
