Recycling in Hermitage: A Local Guide
Hermitage is a community in eastern Davidson County, Tennessee, served by two recycling facilities with complementary but very different focuses. Residents and contractors looking to recycle or sell materials will find one industrial scrap yard and one self-service electronics kiosk within the neighborhood.
Middle Tennessee Recycling is a for-profit scrap metal yard at 3535 Hermitage Industrial Drive that buys copper, brass, aluminum (including cans), stainless steel, and all kinds of ferrous and non-ferrous metal by weight at market rates. It is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and is closed on weekends. The yard also rents 10- to 40-yard roll-off containers for demolition and construction projects. Note that it accepts metal only — no glass, cardboard, paper, or plastic.
ecoATM is a self-service kiosk on the front wall of the Kroger at 5544 Old Hickory Blvd (store #0518). It evaluates and pays cash on the spot for smartphones (all brands), tablets, and MP3 players — including broken or non-working devices — seven days a week during Kroger store hours (7:00 AM–10:00 PM). A valid government-issued photo ID is required for every transaction; users must be 18 or older. It does not accept laptops, TVs, or gaming consoles.
For household recyclables such as cardboard, paper, glass, and plastics, Davidson County residents can use Metro Nashville's curbside recycling program or a Metro convenience center, as neither Hermitage facility handles those materials.
