Nashville's Landfill Is Almost Full. What Happens Next?
Nashville’s main landfill is almost full, leaving Davidson County in the middle of a “trash crisis.” State Senator Heidi Campbell joins us to explain how her Tennessee Waste to Jobs Act could turn the problem into economic opportunity — generating thousands of jobs and billions in revenue while funding recycling infrastructure and education at no cost to taxpayers.
Learn more and watch the official video of “From Waste to Wages: Tennessee’s Economic Potential in Recycling,” nominated in the 2025 Nashville Film Festival.
