“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Ashland City Highway in North Nashville.“They are going to see something that looks like an agricultural center, like a garden center,” Prasad said. “Up front there will he greenhouses and gardens, the digester is housed in a building, completely enclosed that looks like a garden or equestrian center.”Prasad says her plan would help the city get closer to its 30 year goal of zero waste to landfills at no cost to taxpayers.She plans to raise the money for the $14 million project on her own and with state environmental grants.“To create advanced recycling infrastructure like this dry digester, our community can greatly benefit by diverting those food scraps to the processing facility that allows them to be rapidly converted into compost and back into our farms," Pasad said.While admitting this plan is smart and sustainable, not everyone is on board with it.Neighbors of the proposed site location in north Nashville say waste is waste, and they don’t want it.“People have to understand the 100 year history of that community,” District 1 Metro Councilman Jonathan Hall said. “When you’ve been the district where everyone has deposited the things they don’t want, you’re naturally going to have two reactions: first, would you put it anywhere else? Have you looked anywhere else? And second, it is not the things we have in mind for ourselves.”Councilman Hall says he has heard loud and clear from his District 1 constituents, and 98 percent are against it.He says they’re looking to develop vacant land with things like housing, services and amenities, and better infrastructure.“It just does not fit in to any part of those plans overall,” Hall said.Despite the setback, Prasad believes a lot of...

It was $3 million-plus when we first looked at it, and now it is $3.9 million. (C Central Chat: Oklahoma City manager addresses city's trash and treasure)

El Portal calls itself a modern-day Garden of Eden. The tiny village boasts a canopy of oak trees, a portion of the Little River frequented by manatees, and an official designation as a bird sanctuary. It'd be a fitting nickname, except for one thing: The rivers in Paradise probably weren't packed with floating islands of trash. In the part of the Little River that flows through El Portal, water bottles, takeout containers, and all manner of garbage drift through the water and get tangled in booms meant to block off powerful dams. And lately, the floating heap of refuse has been worse than ever, residents and the South Florida Water Management District agree."It's dumpsters and dumpsters and dumpsters full of trash," says resident Ian Hayes, whose home sits on the river.Frustrated community members have been making calls to village officials, and they're working with the Little River Conservancy to plan a meeting on the issue, though no date has been set.
