Question: What do I do with my old television? Did you know that your "old" TV does not necessarily have to be thrown away when the TV signals change to digital signals in February 2009? You have the option to purchase a converter box which will update your analog television. Learn more. If you need to dispose of your old TV set, Davidson County Residents may take TVs to East Convenience Center.

'CAMP NASHVILLE’ MISSION WORKERS
TO CONDUCT CLEANUPS
1200 Baptist Students Removed Litter, Illegal Signs
Beginning July 21, Metro Beautification and Environment partnered with Mission Encounter Ministries of Mt Juliet to provide a 1-week mission experience for approximately 1200 North American Baptist Conference youth in the Nashville inner-city. The students spent three days of their visit removing litter and illegal signs along Metro roadways and medians. Metro Beautification provided litter bags, gloves and safety vests. Metro Public Works coordinated crews to pick up the litter and debris collected by the students.
Hanging Baskets
Beautify Downtown
Quality green streets are of great value for enhancing the visual environment, creating walkable and livable spaces and for overall environmental stewardship. This project serves as a pilot in continuance of the on-going beautification of Nashville's downtown district. 64 hanging flower baskets displays have been mounted on light poles in the downtown area on Church and Commerce Streets as a beautification initiative for the city, benefiting the business community, the tourism industry and citizens of Nashville.

Learn About the New Tennessee Litter Law
The new Tennessee Litter Law is designed to help reduce some of that trash. Smaller amounts of litter will be punished by a $50 fine, while larger fines are reserved for larger amounts. Offenders can mail in the payment to the county clerk or plead not guilty and face the officer in court. If the judge finds the offender guilty, the person must pay the $50 and court costs. It is hoped that this new law will encourage more enforcement, since the fines are more appropriate for the offenses, and in most cases the officer and the offender will not have to go to court. You can read the entire litter law.
