In addition to everything that is recyclable through curbside collection - cardboard, newspaper, all paper grades, plastic #1 and #2 bottles with a neck, aluminum and rinsed out steel cans - Chattanooga's recycling convenience centers accept wet and dry cell batteries, small electronics (no TVs or microwaves), shredded paper, glass bottles (brown, green and clear), motor oil, compact fluorescent bulbs and tubular fluorescent bulbs.

Citizens may recycle their computer monitors at Orange Grove's Industrial Training Center, 720 Arlington Avenue in Chattanooga. A $10 fee applies.
