Garbage Men & Women Doing Good in the Community

Here you will find a selection of our stories from the communities we serve and the environmental heroes who are part of the Meridian Waste team.

Meridian Waste was proud to attend the 2026 Tennessee Sustainability Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!

The conference brought together sustainability professionals, community leaders, policymakers and solid waste experts from across the state to connect, share ideas and discuss the future of environmental stewardship.

We were also honored to make a $3,000 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through the fundraising efforts of Abbie Greene and her participation in Lights, Camera, Fashion. The annual Jackson, Tennessee program empowers local high school students to build confidence while raising funds to support St. Jude and its mission.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support an incredible cause while connecting with industry partners and leaders working toward stronger, more sustainable communities across Tennessee.

Thank you to the Tennessee Recycling Coalition, Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Tennessee Environmental Conference for a great event!
