The Tennessee Department of Treasury, Unclaimed Property Division, will be at the SunDrop Festival, in Pulaski, June 14, to help reunite citizens in Southern Middle Tennessee with missing money.
Tennesseans have located hundreds, and even thousands of dollars in missing money at past events. There’s more than $15.4 million waiting to be claimed in Giles County and the surrounding six-county area.
These are the amounts available to claim in each county:
• Giles County: $1,629,931
• Lawrence County: $2,094,957
• Lewis County: $536,397
• Lincoln County: $2,253,547
• Marshall County: $1,881,975
• Maury County: $7,072,856

SunDrop Festival attendees are encouraged to stop by the Unclaimed Property booth to search ClaimItTN.gov for missing money. If property is found, the owner can file a claim at the booth, and Division representatives will be on-hand to answer any questions about the claims process from:
• 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, June 14

“I’m grateful to Treasurer Lillard for coming to my district to try to get people’s missing money back to them,” said Sen. Joey Hensley, of Hohenwald, whose district includes Giles County. “Unclaimed Property is a very important state program that’s working on behalf of Tennesseans to get their money back to them.”
“I encourage everyone to take time to stop by the Unclaimed Property booth at the SunDrop Festival to let them search your name, because you might leave with some extra cash in your account,” said Rep. Clay Doggett, of Pulaski. “I am very proud to be able to support Treasurer Lillard and his staff’s efforts to reconnect people with their missing money through this program.”

About the Unclaimed Property Division

Unclaimed property is money turned over to the State by businesses and organizations that were unable to locate the rightful owner. The Unclaimed Property Division is a consumer protection program of the Department of Treasury that works to reunite the millions of missing dollars turned over every year with its rightful owners.

Anyone can see if they are owed any missing money by searching their name at ClaimItTN.gov and may file a claim online if they find unclaimed property belonging to them. The searchable online database contains all unclaimed property in Tennessee dating to the beginning of the program. In Tennessee, there is no time limit or fee to claim unclaimed property. It is held for the rightful owner or their legal beneficiaries until it is claimed.

Columbia, TN (June 6, 2025) – The City of Columbia is proud to announce it has been awarded a Waste Reduction Grant for a total project value of $425,200.00 from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Division of Solid Waste Management (DSWM), Materials Management Program (MMP). This significant funding includes a 30% match from the City of Columbia and will facilitate the purchase of a new recycling truck, enhancing the city’s waste management and sustainability initiatives.

This investment underscores Columbia’s commitment to responsible environmental stewardship and efficient public services. The acquisition of this new recycling truck is a pivotal step in increasing the city’s capacity to handle larger recycling volumes and directly supports Columbia’s broader vision for a more sustainable community. “This grant is a testament to our ongoing dedication to environmental sustainability and the well-being of our community,” stated Mayor Chaz Molder. “A new recycling truck will significantly improve our capacity to serve residents and reinforce Columbia’s position as a leader in responsible waste management. We are incredibly grateful to TDEC for their partnership and support in achieving our green goals.”

The City of Columbia has consistently prioritized initiatives that contribute to a cleaner environment, understanding that effective waste reduction and recycling programs are fundamental to this effort. This grant will allow the Public Works Department to operate with greater efficiency and reach more households, making recycling more accessible and convenient for all citizens. City Manager Tony Massey highlighted the importance of the award. “This grant award allows the City to expand and
enhance our solid waste recycling efforts to our citizenry. Less solid waste going to the landfill and instead being repurposed is good for the environment, saves landfill space, and is fiscally responsible.”
Public Works Director Jeff DeWire emphasized the direct impact on daily operations and resident services. “This new recycling truck will be an excellent addition to our fleet, significantly enhancing our ability to serve the community. It will allow for more efficient collection routes, reduced operational costs, and ultimately, a more reliable and expanded recycling service for every resident.”

 The grant contract is expected to be finalized swiftly, with a tentative contract delivery date set for June 30, 2025. The City of Columbia looks forward to integrating the new recycling truck into its fleet and continuing its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener future for all its residents.
