Everything You Need to Know About Litter in SE Tennessee
Leave No Trace. Pack It Out.
UntrashedTN was born out of frustration — and love. Frustration at seeing plastic bags tangled in creek banks, tires dumped on mountain trails, and fast food wrappers lining every scenic overlook. Love for the Appalachian Mountains, the Tennessee River, and the communities that call this place home.
We believe southeast Tennessee is worth fighting for. Join us.
