Nashville’s Turnip Green Creative Reuse has a new home, but the nonprofit reuse center didn’t travel far. Find the new location just south of downtown at 1014 3rd Ave. S.

Since 2011, Turnip Green has been a hub for artists, makers, educators, and collectors looking to shop sustainably. Through community donations, the center diverts ~30,000 pounds each month from landfills. It also hosts adult and youth workshops and showcases local artwork in the Green Gallery and Marketplace.

With the new space up and running, we’re sharing FAQs so you can shop, donate items, and volunteer your time with ease.

What items can I donate?

Hundreds of materials that typically can’t be recycled or donated to other charities can be given to Turnip Green for educational purposes or to be sold in the Reuse Center. Use this interactive list to filter accepted materials, everything from carpet samples and flower pots to candle jars and paintings. For items not accepted — sheets, towels, dishware, and hangers — hover over the listing to see suggested donation sites in Nashville.

When can I drop off donations?

Small materials can be donated on Tuesday–Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 pm. Items cannot be dropped off when the business is closed.

I’m ready to shop — how does pricing work?

Materials in the Reuse Center are “pay what you wish,” and shoppers are encouraged to pay what they can reasonably afford. Items in the Green Gallery and Marketplace are marked with a price. Pro tip: You can also shop online.

Can I volunteer at Turnip Green?

Yes — volunteer opportunities are available in the reuse center (think: stocking shelves + processing items), at community events, and via internships.

Editor’s pick: Speaking of crawfish boils, it’s that time of year. Spicy Boys (924 Mcferrin Ave.) plans to host weekly boils on Saturdays and Sundays. Street Brothers Seafood in South Nashville (540 Paragon Mills Rd.) is also serving up crawfish. Know of another spot? Send it our way. 🦞
