What makes it great is that it is my one stop recycling center. They offer bins for cardboard, plastic, aluminum, and glass. Plus the Goodwill drop off truck is right there. Perfect! Places to recycle are not abundant on the West side, so I'm really glad to have found it! My only complaint; they are only open until 5:00 on week days and I can never stop in after work. Even 6:00 would be reasonable for me to get there with plenty of time! Plus they have limited hours on Sunday, so you really need to get in on Saturday if at all possible. Now that I've gone green, I just can't go back! :)

Not to mention, if you live in an apartment, you most likely don't have access to a recycle bin that you can roll out to the curb every two weeks. However, spaces like the East Convenience Center are working hard to make recycling easier. After the holidays, I had a mountain of cardboard, along with various other recyclables (plastic, metal, glass ... all of the things). This center is free to use once per day for Davidson County residents - you just pull up during operating hours and hand over your ID to prove your residency. The folks at the booth are friendly as can be, and they've been happy to answer any questions I had, especially on my first visit. I have yet to encounter a long wait to drop off my materials, but I've heard Saturdays can get a little busy. Pro tip - pre-sort your recyclables beforehand to keep your visit quick. Glass, plastic, metal, and paper (excluding cardboard) are all located in easy-to-access bins. If you pull further into the center, there's a separate section for cardboard. The East Convenience Center does allow other types of waste disposal ... you'll want to reference their website for specifics (and it might have a cost associated with it, depending on what it is you're dumping). I'm thankful to have this easy-to-use recycling center so close to my home ... and can't wait to see the city continue to expand and improve spaces like this.

Since my building does not offer recycling services (we're still in the South and way behind the…read morecurve sometimes), I have to either hire someone or haul it myself. I prefer this center since it's somewhat of a nice drive, fairly easy to access, open 24/7/365(6), and located directly next to a park if I want some green space time, too, thereby making my trip efficient. It's usually cleanish, but in my last few visits the place looks more like a dumping ground; specifically the cardboard bins. They are stuffed and overflowing to the point where folks just pile their cardboard on the ground next to the containers. (Unless it's me who wants to find every tiny space in the bins to shove the cardboard into.) Perhaps this is due to the increase in ship-to-home? Regardless, it's a problem that I've not yet seen a resolution to. I've actually been delaying hauling my recyclables knowing that the holidays have likely only added to the frustration of bin availability. Since this center is located in the back corner of the lot for McGavock High School, there is ample parking for unloading recyclables. However, turning into the lot from the road can be a bit tight. It's just a weird turn for some odd reason. Also, when the buses are running for the school year, keep an eye out for them as they will come flying into this lot for overnight parking. Since I last took photos, there are updated signs to instruct what can and cannot be placed into the bins. I recently noticed on the Nashville.gov website that the recyclables list has changed. I was sad to learn that some of the plastic containers that are 100% recyclable the city can no longer take only because they do not have a buyer for those specific items. I also learned some of my paper pieces were too small, so now when I scrub my mail I make sure to take care to leave the paper in larger pieces so they're recyclable. Anyway, the list is very well assembled and incredibly detailed. What's the point in recycling if we don't do it correctly? Go check it out.
