HB 2518 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Recycling - As enacted, establishes the office of cooperative marketing for recyclables and the recycling market development and diversion advisory council. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 68, Chapter 211.

HB 2518 requires Tennessee's Department of General Services and Department of Environment and Conservation to submit annual reports on state recycling efforts to the General Assembly by December 31 each year. The bill amends specific sections of state law (TCA Titles 4, 5, 6, 7, and 68) to establish this reporting requirement. These reports will detail actions taken under existing recycling programs, providing transparency on state agency recycling activities. The bill does not change recycling practices or set new recycling targets, but mandates regular reporting to lawmakers.
