Fall is FULL of healthy activities you can do with the whole family!

Although Kingsport has put a “pause” on its curbside recycling program, we can all continue to recycle by dropping off recyclable materials at one of the area’s recycling convenience centers. Here is a list of centers accepting recyclable material:

Recycling Drop Off Sites, accepting mixed paper, magazines, cardboard, aluminum and tin cans:
• 609 Industry Drive (across from the Wastewater Plant)
• 101 Lakecrest Drive (in Colonial Heights near Ingles)
• Sullivan Gardens School
• Indian Springs School
• Blountville Middle School Football Field (1651 State Highway 37)
• Holston Valley Middle School Football Field (1717 Bristol Cavern Highway)
• Piney Flats Food City (5970 Highway 11E)
• Indian Springs Elementary School (333 Hill Road)
• Sullivan Middle School (4154 Sullivan Gardens Drive)
• Northeast State Community College

Transfer Stations:
• 1921 Brookside Lane (at the City’s landfill)
• 804 Raytheon Road, Bristol

These transfer stations accept mixed paper, magazines, cardboard, aluminum, tin cans, propane tanks, used oil, anti-freeze, batteries, appliances and electronics (computers, keyboards, games and televisions), and household garbage. Latex paint can be dried and placed with regular garbage (latex paint must be completely dry upon disposal). Oil-based paint is accepted at both stations, and is not required to be dry upon drop off.
For more information, call Sullivan County’s Solid Waste Department at (423) 323-6439.

Let’s Jingle & Mingle Sip & Stroll your way through Downtown Kingsport and shorten that shipping list. Many businesses will stay open until 8 p.m. on Dec. 5 with special deals, live music and refreshments.
