Does Nashville recycling actually get recycled?
When you recycle with EarthSavers, yes — 100%. We guarantee true recycling, meaning every item we collect is processed and recycled. Your recyclables are never sent to a landfill. This is what sets us apart from large waste management companies.
What can I recycle in Nashville?
EarthSavers accepts paper (mail, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, books), plastics (containers with the
recycling logo), glass (all colors of bottles and jars), and aluminum cans. We do not accept plastic bags,
styrofoam, food waste, light bulbs, or window glass.
How much does recycling pickup cost in Nashville?
Residential curbside recycling starts at an affordable monthly rate. Business recycling pricing depends on your volume and pickup frequency. Contact us for a custom quote based on your needs.
What’s the difference between EarthSavers and Nashville city recycling?
EarthSavers is an independent recycling service that guarantees true recycling. While city services may vary in
how recyclables are processed, EarthSavers ensures nothing we collect ends up in a landfill. We also offer
more flexible scheduling and dedicated customer service.
How do I start recycling at my business in Nashville?
It’s easy — contact us for a quote. We’ll assess your recycling needs, recommend a bin size and pickup schedule, deliver your equipment, and start collecting. Most businesses are up and running within a week.
Can I recycle cardboard in Nashville?
Absolutely. We offer dedicated cardboard recycling pickup for businesses with high cardboard volume, as well as cardboard collection as part of our regular business and residential recycling services. Break down boxes along the seams and fold to 3’×3’ or smaller.
What happens to my recyclables after pickup?
After collection, your recyclables are taken to a materials recovery facility where they are sorted by type (paper, plastic, glass, metal) and sent to manufacturers who turn them into new products. Unlike waste companies, we ensure nothing is diverted to a landfill.
