KRC Logo20 years of Serving Knoxville's Recycling Needs

The Knoxville Recycling Coalition is a local, non-profit organization in Knoxville, Tennessee that has focused on environmentally sound waste management practices for over 20 years.

We offer a multi-material recycling service to businesses, churches, schools and other civic groups and we provide education for any one who would like it. We also attend many community events to pass out recycling information and hold quarterly paper collection for residents to bring their personal documents for secure destruction and recycling. To find out what other services we provide and to find out how we can help you, please click on Services.

KRC Mission Statement

The Knoxville Recycling Coalition seeks sensible, environmentally sound waste management practices. The Coalition works with the public, business, government, and community groups to foster and support recycling in the Knoxville area. The Coalition’s efforts involve running recycling programs, developing demonstration projects, and providing public education. The Coalition seeks to move waste management into a new era focused on waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting and the proper disposal of the hazardous waste.
 
New Video Section

With the new edition of the web site, we can offer videos and other multimedia tools that can help you learn more about sustainability. Right now we are only offering The Story of Stuff, but we are hoping to expand our collection soon. We are also starting work on producing our videos that will give you an insight in how recycling works in Knoxville.

This is an exciting time for the KRC, because we are beginning to be able to reach new individuals in the community. Call or email us to donate to the KRC's education fund and promote new and exciting ways of teaching everyone to be sustainable. Click here to visit this new section of the site.
