Recycling and Reuse


Turning Trash into Treasure
That is the mission of the Tennessee Materials Exchange. Materials that one company disposes of may be items that another company is seeking.

You Don’t Have to Throw it Away
The Tennessee Materials Exchange (TME) promotes the beneficial use of material resources, especially for those otherwise destined for disposal. As a FREE service to industry, funded by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Division of Solid Waste Management, the TME helps Tennessee businesses find markets for industrial by-products, surplus materials and wastes.
