Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) mobile household hazardous waste collection service will be in Anderson County, Cheatham County, and Wilson County on Saturday, October 7th, 2023.

Tennesseans are encouraged to bring household hazardous waste to a designated drop–off location, including cleaning fluids, pesticides, swimming pool chemicals, and more. A person does not need to live in the county to participate.

The drop-off locations are:

Anderson County

Oak Ridge Public Works Department, 100 Woodbury Lane, Oak Ridge Tennessee, 9:00am-1:00pm The contact is Geoff Trabalka at 865.463.6845.

Cheatham County

Sycamore Square, 354 Frey Street, Ashland City Tennessee, 8:00am-noon. The contact is Mike Russell at 615.792.2059.

Wilson County

James E. Ward Agricultural Center, Wilson County Fairgrounds, 945 East Baddour Parkway, Lebanon Tennessee, 8:00am-1:00pm. The contact is Cindy Lynch at 615.444.8360.

“We are pleased to provide this opportunity to dispose of household hazardous waste properly,” Commissioner David Salyers of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation said. “We want to make it as convenient as possible for Tennesseans to demonstrate their commitment to protecting the environment.”

Since the program’s inception in 1993, more than 370,000 Tennessee households have properly disposed of more than 24 million pounds of material. There have been over 1,450 one-day collection events.

Household hazardous waste materials are considered flammable, toxic, reactive and/or corrosive and should not be placed with regular garbage. Typical items to dispose of include cleaning fluids, pesticides, mercury thermometers and thermostats, fluorescent lamps, lithium, and button batteries, aerosols, adhesives, medications, brake fluid, swimming pool chemicals, paint thinner, and used needles in sturdy containers.

Items not accepted include ammunition, explosives, alkaline batteries, paint, electronics, and any empty containers that should be disposed of in normal trash. There is no cost or appointment necessary for household hazardous waste collection.

While household hazardous waste may be disposed of for free, there is a cost for disposal of Very Small Quantity Generator Waste (i.e. wastes from non-household sources such as businesses, schools, farms, churches, etc.). An appointment is also necessary—call 615.643.3170 to request a price quote and schedule an appointment.

Many counties and municipalities meet the needs of local residents by providing a collection of batteries, oil, paint, antifreeze, and electronic scrap – or BOPAE, as it is sometimes called.

When handled correctly, these BOPAE materials are minimally hazardous but inappropriate for collection at household hazardous waste events. Tennesseans are encouraged to contact their local city or county solid waste department to find BOPAE collection sites in their area.
 
When transporting materials to the site, place containers in sturdy boxes lined with newspaper or plastic to prevent spills and cross-contamination in the trunk of a car or the back of a truck. Be sure to keep materials away from children and pets.

Cary, NC – After becoming the first player in program history to win a match at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women’s Tennis All-American Championship, Saturday, Austin Peay State University (APSU) women’s tennis graduate student Jana Leder extended her winning streak on the final day of the tournament, but lost the following match to end her historic run, Sunday, at the Cary Tennis Park.

“Jana played some great tennis this weekend,” said Austin Peay State University head women’s tennis coach Maria Sorbello Morrison. “We are all so proud of the way that she represented APSU on the national stage. She has improved so much throughout her years here and it showed in this tournament.”

Leder defeated nationally ranked No. 84 Giulia Morlet from Arizona State in straight sets (6-4, 6-3) to open the event, earning Austin Peay State University’s first-ever win against a ranked opponent and first win at the All-American Championships. 

A two-time First Team All-PAC-12 selection and mainstay in the ITA’s National Singles Rankings, Morlet has exclusively played the No. 1 position for the Sun Devils each of the last two seasons where she has combined for seven nationally-ranked victories, including two against top-20 opponents. She has ranked as high as No. 54 in singles by the ITA in three seasons at ASU.

Following her win against Morlet, Leder again picked up a straight-set win (6-4, 6-4) against a Power 5 opponent in Iowa’s Daianne Hayashida. 

Hayashida won a team-best 10 singles wins for the Hawkeyes during her freshman campaign, including posting a 4-0 mark in Big Ten singles play. 

Leder’s tournament run came to an end following a 6-1, 6-3 loss to North Carolina’s Theadora Rabman, who was the No. 13 seed in the tournament and the No. 14 in the United States Tennis Association’s Junior Rankings and the No. 53 player in the International Tennis Federation’s Junior Rankings.

“I am so pleased with Jana to get rewarded for the effort she has put in all throughout her career,” said APSU Director of Tennis Ross Brown. “She has been a foundation of this program for a number of years. There is no give in her, she works extremely hard to give herself the best chance at being successful. To come back for her COVID year, and pick up a couple of great wins is an extreme confidence boost for her. The difference with what she is doing now, is that when it gets close, she is being brave and committing to the shots she needs to play and that is what makes the difference.”

Washington, D.C. – Losing 85,000 migrant children who have been potentially exploited and victimized doesn’t happen overnight – it’s a result of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) misguided policies.

I am giving HHS Secretary Becerra another chance to explain what he knows about the alleged child exploitation and his department’s retaliation against whistleblowers.

There is simply nothing compassionate about turning a blind eye to the victimization of children, and it’s time for the Joe Biden administration to take responsibility for this crisis.

Weekly Rundown

Our institutes of higher learning must be free from Communist China’s grasp while still teaching students about culture, history, and language. Taiwan can help fill this critical void. This week, I introduced an initiative encouraging our American schools to partner with Taiwan to support learning and increase partnership between our two nations. 

Survey research indicates that K-12 school districts face difficulties in verifying their accounts with social media platforms, leading to challenges for schools to report online harassment and fraudulent accounts. This week, I sent letters to six major social media giants asking them to create dedicated processes for the verification of school accounts to make it easier for our educators to spend more time in the classroom.

While the CCP grows more eager to undermine U.S. sovereignty by any means necessary, President Joe Biden’s open border policies have welcomed an estimated 45,000 Chinese nationals into our country in the last year. We need to know their intentions and affiliations before they are allowed in via asylum or any legal means. Xi Jinping’s communist way of life has no place in the United States. That’s why I introduced the No Asylum for CCP Spies Act, which would prohibit members of communist or totalitarian parties – like the CCP – from being granted asylum.

Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) Lindsey McMahon netted her first goal of the season in the 81st minute, leading the Governors to a 1-0 Atlantic Sun Conference victory against North Alabama on Senior Day, Sunday at Morgan Brothers Soccer Field.

McMahon, who entered Sunday’s contest tied for a team-best two saves, became the APSU Govs’ ninth goalscorer of the season, matching the team’s 2022 tally with five games remaining. Austin Peay (5-8-1, 3-3 ASUN) also earned their third conference win of the season, tied for its most since winning five league games during the 2016 Ohio Valley Conference campaign.

After a scoreless first 45 minutes, which saw APSU and North Alabama (6-5-3, 2-3-1 ASUN) combine for six shots, the Govs and Lions fired as many attempts in the first 10:55 of the second half.

Tori Case drew a foul against UNA’s Alice Bussey midway through the 81st minute to set the APSU Govs up with a set piece within its offensive half. Case took the free kick and found an unmarked McMahon within the goal area who headed it the right side of the net for her second-career score, breaking the ice for the lone score of the afternoon.

Following McMahon’s score, the Lions fired two shots in the final 9:10, but their first attempt sailed wide left of the net in the 86th minute, and the second was blocked by an APSU defender a minute later. 

With the win, Austin Peay State University improved to 3-3 in ASUN play and sits fifth in the conference standings, 0.5 games ahead of No. 6 North Alabama and two matches behind No. 4 Eastern Kentucky.

Coach’s Corner

With head coach Kim McGowan

On the win… “Today was a tough win. Our team was tough, our bench was tough, and our subs were tough. That was a full, tough effort from the Govs.”

On the Senior Day win … “Senior day is tends to be emotional. You have players being celebrated for everything they’ve done on and off the field at the University. I couldn’t be more proud of the work our six have done and continue to do. They all have very bright futures ahead of them, and we will be having great Govs ready to conquer after graduation.”

On the Lindsey McMahon… “Lindsey is a worker. Things go well. She works. Things don’t go as planned; she works. This goal has been coming because of all of her work. It was the perfect time today for her work to show.”

On heading into the second half of ASUN play… “We’ve been splitting every weekend. Next game is always the biggest game, and there is focus on the team to start stringing some results together. We’re going to continue to play Govs’ soccer and get better. More results will come.”
