Tennessee Waste
Nashville’s Only Construction and Demolition Debris
Recycling and Hauling Company
Tennessee Waste delivers superior service to the construction industry and an exceptional service to Tennessee’s communities and environment.
What We Do
Tennessee Waste places dumpsters at construction sites where contractors fill them with miscellaneous construction debris. The firm then hauls that debris away: remnants of old buildings that have been torn down to make way for the new; scraps from new buildings that are unneeded and thrown away. But what Tennessee Waste does with that debris is unlike any other business in Tennessee.
Better Than the Rest
Tennessee Waste is a RECYCLING leader. Unlike the competition, Tennessee Waste sorts, recycles and reuses most of the C&D debris hauled from their client’s construction projects. Tennessee Waste sorts wood, concrete and metals, and recycles seventy-five percent of all materials brought into their extensive recycling facility.
How It All Started
Phillip Nappi, a member of the TEC Board of Directors, founded Tennessee Waste on September 9, 1999. At that time, Tennessee Waste had one 1984 model truck, forty-two dumpsters and one employee, Nappi. Today, Tennessee Waste employs more than fifty people, with seventeen trucks on the road daily that run seventeen routes and more than 750 dumpsters on site. Today, Tennessee Waste is the largest privately-held hauling company in Middle Tennessee.
In the summer of 2001, Tennessee Waste opened a recycling facility in West Nashville to process wood, metal, cardboard, and concrete. In the spring of 2003, Tennessee Waste purchased twenty-eight acres in Antioch to open a more extensive construction and demolition recycling center. Since the opening of that facility in March 2005, the additional space and equipment boosted the overall recycling rate.
