CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Garages and basements in Bradley County should have more storage space this morning.
Hundreds of households took part Saturday in the annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day at Tri-State Exhibition Center, organized by Keep America Beautiful Cleveland/Bradley County and Santek Environmental.
