What people ask in their first month in Nashville: the answer, town by town, and the official page for each.
Nashville. In the Urban Services District, Metro picks up trash every week and recycling every other week at single-family homes up to quadplexes; pickup days changed in February 2026, so look up your day in the Nashville Waste and Recycling app. Outside the Urban Services District, owners arrange their own pickup.
