Recycling in Nashville, TN

Nashville Department of Waste Services runs four convenience centers for Davidson County residents (Anderson Lane, East, Ezell Pike and Omohundro), which take bulky items, recycling and, at some centers, electronics, tires, mattresses and household hazardous waste. Metro does not collect bulky items at the curb; items too bulky for the cart go to a convenience center.
