Date and Time
Tuesday Apr 15, 2025
7:30 AM - 8:30 AM CDT
- Recycle Right - the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), how recycling works in Nashville, what can and cannot be recycled, and why not everything can be recycled
Jenn Harrman develops education initiatives, policy, and programs to help Nashvillians
rethink, refuse, reuse, and recycle. As Administrative Services Manager for the
Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County and a public servant of
over 7 years, her work centers on implementing sustainable, resilient, and equitable
alternatives to landfill disposal for the benefit of all who live and work in Nashville.
Jenn’s early career focused on preserving historic buildings, giving her a unique
perspective to build strategies around reducing construction and demolition waste. She
also has over 10 years of experience in community education and outreach across
various sectors that she brings to her work to educate Nashvillians. Due to her
education and outreach initiatives, contamination in curbside recycling has dropped
from 46% to 21%, the amount of compostable material collected at public drop-offs has
doubled, stakeholders in the construction industry have supported new policy to require
recycling, and she has successfully launched a residential curbside food scraps
collection program.
Abby Kimmel works on community outreach and education for the Nashville
Department of Waste Services. She connects residents to valuable resources and
teaches Nashvillians how to recycle right, as well as other ways to divert waste from
landfills. Abby holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to joining the Nashville Department of Waste
Services team, Abby served as a Lead for North Carolina Fellow, working to expand
sustainability initiatives in rural, distressed communities in Eastern North Carolina
