Speaker: Jenn Harrman, Zero Waste Program Manager, Metro Water Services Division of Waste Services
Ms. Harrman explained what Zero Waste means, minimizing the waste we generate and maximizing the diversion of materials from landfills through sustainable solid waste management practices. This is a most important issue for us as we are running out of places to “ditch” our trash. With a Zero Waste mindset, we can transition from a linear economy that focuses on the start and end of a product’s life, to a circular economy that captures and reincorporates materials.
The Zero Waste Plan for Nashville has the following goals:
landfills.
throughout Davidson County.
and demolition waste stream.
reuse, recycle and compost.
