Tennessee rules differ by paint type. Never pour paint down drains or on the ground.

Latex/water-based: Remove lid, let dry completely (or mix with kitty litter), then dispose with household trash. Oil-based/stain: Take to county transfer station (Sullivan, Hawkins, Washington) or TDEC HHW event. Sullivan County accepts oil-based without drying. Donate usable paint to Habitat ReStore or community theater groups.

Old computers, TVs, and monitors are banned from landfills in TN. Drop at county transfer stations or special e-waste events.

County options: • Sullivan County transfer stations — computers, keyboards, games, TVs • Greene County convenience centers — computers and monitors • Carter County Recycling Center — TVs, appliances, microwaves • Hawkins County — white goods and metals at convenience centers Retailers (Best Buy, Staples) sometimes accept small electronics — call first.

Flatten cardboard boxes before drop-off. Most county convenience centers and city recycling programs accept corrugated cardboard and mixed paper.

Tips: • Remove packing materials and flatten boxes • Greasy pizza boxes usually go in trash • Shredded paper: check if your center wants it bagged City curbside: Kingsport and Johnson City residents — check municipal sanitation pages for bin rules.
