Nashville Waste Services Resumes Residential Collections with Adjusted Weekend Schedule

Nashville Waste Services (NWS) will launch a safety-first return to residential trash collection, where conditions allow, beginning Friday, January 30, as part of a comprehensive multi-day recovery effort.

Revised Collection Schedule

To ensure as many neighborhoods as possible are reached before the city's new collection schedule transition on February 3, NWS crews will work through the weekend following this adjusted calendar:

• Friday, January 30: Regular Friday (1/30) routes will be serviced.
• Saturday, January 31: Regular Monday (1/26) and Tuesday (1/27) routes will be serviced.
• Sunday, February 1: Regular Wednesday (1/28) routes will be serviced.
• Monday, February 2: Regular Thursday (1/29) routes will be serviced.

Reminder: Starting February 3, Nashville Waste Services will shift to a new residential trash and recycling collection schedule.

What Residents Need to Know

Trash Only: Crews are focusing exclusively on household trash. Curbside recycling remains on hold until the new collections schedule begins February 3.

Leave Carts Out: Please place your trash carts at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your designated recovery day listed above.

Emergency Trash Drop-Off Sites

To provide immediate relief for residents in hard-to-reach areas, NWS is currently coordinating to deploy Emergency Trash Drop-Off Sites (large open-top dumpsters) at centralized neighborhood locations.

As sites become open and available, residents should visit NWS on Facebook or Instagram for a real-time list of active locations. These sites are free of charge.

Convenience Centers: Special Sunday and Monday Hours

To provide residents with more options for storm debris and household waste, all four Metro Convenience Centers-which are normally closed on Sundays and Mondays-will be open (8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) through Saturday, February 7 with these additional days:

• Sunday, February 1: 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
• Monday, February 2: 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Fee Waiver: Fees remain waived for all residents at these locations through Saturday, February 7.
