Forget 9-5. Dollywood’s composting operation never stops.

GRUNGE: The reason Dollywood doesn’t have recycling containers

Dollywood works with the Sevier Solid Waste Composting facility to compost most of the garbage generated by visitors to her Pigeon Forge amusement park.

All waste is subject to a three-day composting process that ultimately separates the inorganic waste, which is then sorted for traditional recycling. The remaining compost is then used by East Tennessee farmers and distributed to the public. 

Another reason to love the Smoky Mountain sweetheart.
