Post Oak Convenience Center accepting paint and stain:
The Roane County Solid Waste Department now accepts unused paint and stain at the Post Oak Convenience Center located at 123 Post Oak Valley Road in Rockwood. This service is only for Roane County residents to dispose of any unused paint or stain from their households.  No paint or stain from businesses will be accepted. Managing and disposing of paint will increase the County’s eligibility to host future annual Household Hazardous Waste events. The State has approved our request for a Household Hazardous Waste Event on May 5, 2012.

The Post Oak facility will be available for paint disposal every Tuesday between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Only latex and oil-based paint and stain will be accepted. No aerosol cans, chemicals or pesticides will be permitted.  For more information call the Roane County Recycling Center at 865-590-7779.
