Love your mother.
Please remember the ultimate mother today - mother earth!
If you don't recycle -> start today. If you don't compost -> start today. If you don't know how, read below for Nashville details:
Recycling pick-up in Nashville is monthly. If you need a recycling buggy or an extra buggy, the city will deliver one to you. You can order a cart for free by calling (615) 880-1000.
ACCEPTED MATERIALS:
- ALL PAPER & BOXES : office paper, magazines, junk mail, newspaper, computer paper, notebook paper, phone books, paperback books, construction paper, brown paper bags, milk or juice cartons (including gable top and aseptic containers), cardboard boxes, food boxes (clean - no food). All boxes should be broken down.

- Residents must place recyclables in their green roll-out cart/buggy.
- Recyclables are not to be bagged but placed in the cart loosely. - You can put all items in the cart together - no separation is required.
- For more details on the residential recycling collection program, please read through the frequently asked questions below or call (615) 880-1000.
- DO NOT PUT GLASS IN RECYCLING BINS. You have to take glass separately to a local recycling center - behind the Hillsboro High is our closest site for glass recycling.
- They also have a Good Will Drop Off Center there…an additional way to recycle!

Buy used.Thredup is a great company to purchase used clothing from. They have categories such as 'With tags' or 'Like new'. They are also a good source for your new / slightly used clothing via their Clean Out Bags which will earn you a little money. They have women's and children's clothing.

Bring your left over containers to restaurants if you know you always take something home.
Reduce plastic: bring your reusable bags to stores or carry your goods in your arms. Reduce buying plastic where you can.
Boat and Tote Bags: Originally made to carry ice blocks, these things are nearly indestructible. They are sturdy and hold their shape making them excellent bags for groceries.
