Trash pickup across Middle Tennessee has experienced significant delays in the aftermath of last week's winter weather event. Home surveillance footage captured a startling incident on Monday morning, as a trash collection truck slid down a residential street in southeast Davidson County.

Due to the ongoing winter weather conditions, curbside collection of trash and recycling in Nashville had been suspended throughout last week. Initially scheduled to resume on Monday, January 22, Metro Water has decided to postpone trash pickup by one day to prioritize the safety of their drivers and the community.

In response to the hazardous road conditions caused by the winter storm, communities such as Dickson have taken steps to address the situation. Two temporary locations have been opened for household trash, as convenience centers remain closed.

As side streets throughout Middle Tennessee remain covered in ice, the gradual rise in temperatures above 32 degrees on Monday morning provided a glimmer of hope for a return to normalcy. Nevertheless, the effects of the winter storm continue to impact the region's trash collection services, causing inconveniences for residents.

Local authorities and waste management agencies are working diligently to address the trash pickup delays, as they strive to ensure the timely removal of waste and maintain the cleanliness of neighborhoods. Residents are advised to exercise patience and make use of the available alternatives, such as temporary collection locations, until regular trash pickup services can be fully restored.

The community is urged to stay informed about the latest updates regarding trash pickup schedules, as weather conditions may continue to affect operations in the coming days.
