NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville Waste Services (NWS) has initiated a safety-first return to residential trash collection, where conditions allow, as part of a comprehensive recovery effort. To support this, the department is also activating more than thirty emergency trash drop-off sites and extending convenience center operations through the weekend to provide residents with immediate disposal options.

Revised Collection Schedule

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

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

What Residents Need to Know:

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