    Always nice to work with . Very helpful pointing you in the right direction. I think everyone…read moreneeds to recycle

    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.

    It's hard to recycle ... period. There's so many rules to follow, and they differ based on what…read morecity and/or county you're in. 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.

    In my previous home, I had Waste Industries for 6 years and had no issues. My husband and I moved…read moreand they didn't deliver the bin the day they said, then we have a week where they didn't pick our trash up. I was also told our pick up day was on Monday. It as picked up one on Monday. So I called again, this time I was told it should be on Wednesday and they would update the system. I have had them for 3 years and I call at least once a month due to miss days. Half the time our trash gets picked up on Friday. Found out a couple of ppl in the front of the neighborhood have a Friday pick up day. How does that happen? But it makes sense if our trash gets picked up majority of the time on they sat. Every time I call though they insist our day is on Wednesday. No one can tell me why our trash day gets missed, they are nice on the phone but I'm being told there's not much they can do. Not sure if the issues are do to them going from Waste Industries to GFL. I had such a great experience before and it's just been unfortunate it hasn't been the same as before. 90% of my neighbors use a different company. We are switching and I'm praying for better service.

    Every week it is a guess as to where my garbage can will come to a rest. I live on a hill. Since…read morethey added the arm, they refuse to get out of the truck. The rolling/dragging of bins has damaged mine and my neighbor's mailboxes. Today, they just left boxes that would not fit into the bin. Waste Industries needs a new driver in Poplar Creek Estates. This is not the first time I have contacted WI about their lazy service.
