NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In what may feel like another weather downfall, Nashville has to suspend its trash pickup until Monday.

Metro Water Services explained that the road conditions in neighborhoods hadn't cleared up enough to run its normal routes.

"As for drop-off sites, we will resume site operations as soon as road conditions allow, though sites may be at capacity," city officials said. "Please know that these decisions were not made lightly and our top priority continues to be the safety and well-being of our employees and the community.

Without regular pick-up, convenience centers are slated to open on Saturday but could have to remain depending on the weather.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
