Recycling Education Station
Do you ever wonder... what happens after you put something into the recycling bin?
Visit the Recycling Education Station and see the sorting process and end products!
Groups and individuals can visit the Recycling Education Room
at the QRS Recycling Facility – where all of Nashvilles’ recyclable
materials go to be sorted out!
See a MRF (Materials Recovery Facility) in action and learn first hand
how materials are separated, how they are recycled, and see the consumer
products that are made from our recycled materials!
Days: All programs are scheduled by apointment. We are able to accommodate
groups on the weekend as needed.
Times: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
