The Metro Nashville department page for public works services, including streets and information on waste and recycling programs.
Metro Public Works is the Nashville department page for city services such as streets, and it also points residents toward information about waste and recycling programs. For anyone planning a dumpster on a street, at a curb or in a shared space, the department is a natural place to start when questions come up about rights of way, curb use and who to contact for different needs.
We are a private company and are not part of Metro government. We help you prepare questions, measure your space and describe your container so a conversation with the right office goes smoothly. Officials decide what is allowed, and we encourage you to confirm requirements with them before your container is delivered.
