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.

Recently while home sick, I got to watch the news just like you — a viewer! And I have to brag on my co-workers. Not only are they great people and journalists, but they are also tremendous advocates. Look no further than the recent reporting by Amanda Roberts and Jennifer Kraus. This kind of reporting takes dogged commitment. To us, it's always more than a story; this is our home too.
