NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – One of the busiest and most popular recycling centers in the Antioch area is closing. Cane Ridge Recycling Center drop-off will be closing on May 30.

“We see everything from clothes, construction debris, light bulbs, bags of trash of just household garbage, and a whole myriad of things,” said Jennifer Harrman with Metro Waste Services. “We are seeing folks clearly using this as a dumping ground instead of a recycling center.”
According to Harrman, Metro Waste Services sends over 170,000 tons of trash to landfills every year and recycles more than 10,000 tons of trash a year. Cane Ridge’s site brings in 500 to 1,000 tons alone.
