View all City Cast Nashville episodes

Thanks to festive parties, big family dinners, and all those Amazon orders, trash cans across Nashville are overflowing. So what should we do with all our holiday waste? Host Marie Cecile Anderson is joined by two team members from Nashville’s Department of Waste Services: Jenn Harrman, education and outreach manager, and Ricky Clark, a trainer in the waste department with 22 years on the job. They’re here to help us understand what can and cannot be recycled, where to take stuff that doesn’t go in the trash, and ways to manage your junk year-round.

If you enjoyed our interview with Janessa White, the Director & General Manager of Simply Eloped, learn more here.
