Let’s Talk Trash! news is proud to be a part of bringing Litter Education to Students & Adults 10 years in Cheatham County !
Since 1983, TDOT has joined forces with all 95 county governments by offering Litter Grants which
PROUDLY SPONSORED BY
subsidize local pickup operations and enhance litter prevention education resources across Tennessee. Annually, $5.5 million is allocated to Litter Grants statewide, a total that has remained the same since 2017.
It is well known in Cheatham County, Tennessee, that A. O. Smith purchased State Industries (State Stove) which was one of the largest water heater manufacturing companies in the US. A.O. Smith is more than a water heater manufacturing company. A. O. Smith has been in operation for over 140 years having started in 1874 by Charles Jeremiah Smith. From a simple shoe last to fabricating baby carriage and bicycle parts in the 1800s, the ‘roots’ of A.O. Smith over generations has grown into a global manufacture for many industries: automotive, oil and gas, breweries, transportation, military, agriculture, residential retail, elevators, and so many more.
The amount each county receives is based on a formula accounting for population and road miles. Counties are required to tackle litter prevention education in three of five designated categories: students, public, media, business, and government.
2025 begins Let’s Talk Trash! news’ 10th year publishing in Cheatham County and 5th year in Robertson County! Developed as a school resource, it is focused on litter education, reading, encouraging good character, citizenship, and personal responsibility!
