Recycle Your Christmas Tree in Nashville Before February 9, 2015
Go Green This Christmas
Public Works, Parks & Recreation Team Up for another Year of Christmas Tree Recycling
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro is offering Davidson County residents an environmentally friendly and convenient way to dispose of their Christmas trees again this year.
WHO: Metro Parks & Recreation and Metro Public Works Departments
WHAT: Christmas Tree Recycling Drop-off Program
WHEN: December 26, 2014 to February 9, 2015
WHERE: Any of the following locations: Cane Ridge Park, Una Recreation Center, Whitfield Park, Cedar Hill Park, Two Rivers Park,Joelton Community Park, Sevier Park, Richland Park, Elmington Park, Edwin Warner Park, Lakewood City Hall
All trees must be free of lights, ornaments, tinsel and garland. No artificial trees can be accepted. Public Works will take the trees to the Bordeaux Mulching Facility to be chipped and composted into mulch. Please do not illegally dump any other items at the drop-off locations.
Natural brown mulch, made from Christmas trees and yard brush, is sold at the facility for $9.50 a cubic yard. The Bordeaux Mulching Facility is located at 1400 County Hospital Road, and is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. No mulch sales after 12 noon on Saturdays. The facility also accepts untreated wood; limbs and brush; leaves; and non-commercial grass clippings in biodegradable paper bags that are free from any other trash or material. Recycling Christmas trees into mulch, rather than putting them in the trash, keeps them out of landfills and helps save Metro the cost of disposal fees. In 2031, over 14,400 trees were recycled through the Christmas Tree Drop-Off Program.
Christmas trees may also be placed with your brush and will be collected through the brush program on your regularly scheduled route. For more information call 862-8750 or visit our website atwww.nashville.gov\public-works.

November Posts Another Month of Increased Home Sales in Middle Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 4, 2014) – There were 2,474 home closings reported for the month of November, according to figures provided by the Greater Nashville Association of REALTORS®. This figure is up 8.2 percentfrom the 2,287 closings reported for the same period last year.
Year-to-date closings through November are 30,431, a 6.9 percent increase from the 28,476 closings reported through November 2013.
“The increase in November is further proof of the health of the Middle Tennessee housing market,” said GNAR President Hagan Stone. “This is the highest level of closings for the month of November our region has seen since 2006.”
“With more than 2,000 sales pending, the Greater Nashville area is well on its way to exceeding last year’s total closings. These signs are welcome as we begin to look toward 2015.”
A comparison of sales by category for November is:
| November 2013 | November 2014 | |
| CLOSINGS | 2,287 | 2,474 |
| Residential | 1,953 | 2,085 |
| Condominium | 222 | 248 |
| Multi-Family | 28 | 23 |
| Farm/Land/Lots | 84 | 118 |
There were 2,489 sales pending at the end of the month, compared with 2,192 pending sales at this time last year. The average number of days on the market for a single-family home was 67 days.
The median residential price for a single-family home during November was $215,000, and for a condominium, it was $165,256. This compares with last year’s median residential and condominium prices of $195,000 and $150,000, respectively.
Inventory at the end of November was 13,715, compared to 15,262 in November 2013. The current inventory of properties by category, compared to last year, is:
| November 2013 | November 2014 | |
| INVENTORY | 15,262 | 13,715 |

| Condominium | 1,132 | 902 |
| Multi-Family | 189 | 149 |
| Farm/Land/Lots | 4,572 | 3,970 |
“If you are considering putting your home on the market early in the new year, now is the time to begin those preparations,” said Stone. “Set up a meeting with your Realtor now to discuss any changes or updates to be made to your home. It’s possible you might even conquer a few of those during the holiday break. The sooner your market-ready home is available in 2015, the greater your chance for a swift transaction.”
