Greetings, Neighbors,

 

Here’s the latest “News You Can Re-Use” from Nashville Waste Services, including how to become a water champion through the Citizen’s Water Academy!

 

Don’t miss the upcoming HWEN FALL PLANT swap on Saturday, September 27, 2-4pm, at 3005 Blakemore, when Nashville Waste Services will teach how to backyard compost and sustainable gardening tips will be offered by Julie Berbiglia of Tennessee Smart Yards. 

Community members are also invited by the Metro Beautification and Environment Commission and NDOT to register for a bag of 50 daffodil bulbs to plant in public spaces (like rights-of-way, schools, and churches) after obtaining permission from property owners to plant. Visit

Caps can be left on or thrown in the trash - those won't get recycled. Even if the carton has an aluminum lining inside, it’s still recyclable as paper—the aluminum is removed during the recycling process!
