Tennessee Materials Exchange

The Tennessee Materials Exchange (TME) promotes the beneficial use of material resources, especially those considered to be wastes destined for disposal. It is a free service, operated by The University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services, that helps Tennessee businesses find markets for industrial by-products, surplus materials and wastes. Material that one company classifies as waste may be raw material to another. The TME lists potentially useful materials, available and wanted, and serves as a matchmaker between those who have materials and those who want them.

How To Use the Tennessee Materials Exchange

Gallatin Trash to Treasure

If your company has industrial by-products, surplus materials and wastes that you think may be utilized by another business or if you think another Gallatin company is disposing of materials that your company can use, contact the Gallatin EDA and we will distribute the information to our Existing Industries. Several of our industries have already utilized this with the result of saving them both money!
