Our mission

Anderson County is dedicated to the education, prevention, and reduction of litter and waste in Tennessee. With this website we hope to encourage our citizens to help in the efforts to reduce and prevent litter and waste for not only our citizens today but for those of the future as well. With the help of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Anderson County Solid Waste Department and you, the citizens, we can make our roadways Litter Free in Tennessee.
