Where Does All the Trash from Dollywood Go? To One of the World’s Best Composting Facilities (recycling, packaging)

[JD59]

Sevier County, Tenn., diverts 70 percent of waste from landfills—and it's becoming more efficient all the time.

When you think about progressive composting and recycling programs, big cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles might come to mind—yet one of the most efficient composting facilities in the world is in Appalachian Tennessee.

They have control over the packaging of the products sold in the park which makes a big difference.

Los Angeles claims to have a much higher percentage recycled.

Being in Tennessee or Los Angeles doesn't make the recycling program conservative or progressive. You might want to have yourself checked out.

I understand that EVERYTHING is political nowadays, but I don't feel like the OP meant "progressive" in terms of politics (i.e. liberal/Democrat). I think this was just more of a general statement based on the traditional meaning of the word "progressive" - the fact that the composting and recycling program in Sevier County is so advanced to the point where they are able to keep about 70% of waste out of the landfill, which is excellent when compared to most places.
