Coca-Cola Warehouse and Distribution Facility Tour

The TRC Executive Director toured the Coca-Cola Warehouse and Distribution Facility in Chattanooga this week and it was educational to watch the bottling process from start to finish.

Thank you to Darren Hodges, Vice President of the TN Valley Division, and Greg Adkins, President of the Beverage Association of TN for the tour.

As a valued partner of the TN Recycling Coalition, Coca-Cola and the Beverage Association of TN are committed to sustainability and recycling.

It was great to meet Representative, Greg Vital and Tess Wentland. We appreciate and value his stewardship and passion for recycling and litter prevention in Chattanooga
