Tipton County - Subject to local approval, establishes litter abatement and control requirements. -

SB 1442 establishes specific litter abatement rules for Tipton County, Tennessee, directly affecting residents, businesses, contractors, and event organizers. It requires all refuse to be contained in secure, closed containers (with wet garbage in waterproof bags), prohibits open dumping or littering in public spaces, and mandates regular cleanup at construction sites, vacant lots, and parking areas. Violations carry daily fines of $25-$50, and the law specifies the county landfill as the sole disposal site for most waste, banning unauthorized dumpsites. The bill requires approval by Tipton County’s legislative body before taking effect.
