We receive hundreds of thank-you emails every week, and often you ask how you can support us. If you’ve gotten something out of being subscribed to NASHtoday, like finding that life-changing concert in our Events section or using our City Guides to plan the perfect way to spend the day with family, we couldn’t be more honored to be a part of your life — and we’re calling on you now to help support our mission with a donation.
Are you raking in the leaves?

They don’t call it “fall” for nothing. Here’s what to do with all those leaves piling up.
Metro collects yard waste — brush, leaves, and grass clippings — four times a year for single-family homes in the Urban and General Services Districts. The city divides pickups into 12 routes, and collection can take one to three weeks once your route begins. Use the Nashville Waste Wizard to find your area’s next pickup date.
The main rules
Place leaves in biodegradable paper bags only.
Set brush piles at the curb so the truck’s arm can reach them.
Keep yard waste away from mailboxes, trees, and utility poles.
Residents needing a drop-off option can take yard waste to Living Earth’s Elm Hill Pike or Centennial Boulevard locations.
