The City of Belle Meade does not provide this service. You will need to call a private contractor to haul these type items away. The City does provide weekly backdoor trash and recycle pickup and curb side chipper service. We also provide three dumpsters behind the City Public Works garage for miscellaneous household trash that will not fit in your trash receptacles. Furniture, appliances or mattresses are NOT to be placed in or around the dumpsters.
The City of Belle Meade does not provide a disposal site for these items. Please do not throw them into the dumpsters behind the Public Works garage. They can be taken to the Metro East Center, 941 Doctor Richard G. Adams Drive (off Trinity Lane), 862-8631. Or call Metro Nashville/Davidson County Public Works at 880-1000 for more information on disposal sites.
No. The chipper service contract includes routine trimmings from pruning shrubs and trees, bagged leaves, and normal yard waste from gardening and weeding. If you hire a contractor to cut down a tree on your property, you are responsible for having the debris hauled away.
You will need to call a private contractor. There are several listed in the yellow pages. One that services Belle Meade is Metro Dead Animal Removal – phone 880-1000.
Call City Hall at 297-6041. (Do Not Call a Plumber!) The red light is connected to your sewer grinder pump and comes on when the pump is malfunctioning. The City is responsible for maintaining these pumps. Our sewer maintenance personnel will come and inspect the pump and replace any parts that are not in working order. In the meantime, please try to keep water usage to a minimum.
The Metro Nashville/Davidson County Water or Fire Department is flushing the fire hydrants for pressure and the back-fill is some rust from the pipes. Do not use your water for approximately one hour and it should settle back in the lines. For questions or information, call Metro Water at 862-4600.
Generally, the right-of-way (R-O-W) extends 12-1/2 to 15 feet from the center of the street. A good rule of thumb is to use the water meter box located in the front yard as the point where the R-O-W ends. Property owners should not construct or install anything such as irrigation systems, invisible fences, paved parking areas, etc. in the R-O-W before checking with the Public Works Department. In addition, no trees can be planted in or removed from the R-O-W without permission from the City.
Call Nashville Electric Service at 234-0000. This number accesses the Automated Outage Reporting System, which sends an immediate message so that NES is aware of your outage and also maintains a historical record of all outages at your location.
In both instances, call the City Public Works Department at 297-6041. If possible, obtain the pole number or nearest street address when a light is not working. We will notify NES of the problem. If your neighborhood wants new or additional streetlights, a signed petition from all residents on the street must be submitted to the City. We will then work with NES to have the light(s) installed.
NES’ power lines are in the right-of-way and their contractors are able to prune limbs or remove trees near the electrical power lines and equipment without the City or property owner granting permission. However, as part of NES’ Vegetation Management Program, homeowners are notified in advance of this type work and are encouraged to meet with an NES representative to discuss what will be done on their property. The City of Belle Meade understands the need for NES to maintain reliability of service to their customers, but also understands the important role that trees play in the character of our neighborhoods. The City has contracted with an arborist to assist the Public Works staff to work with NES and the property owners in this process so that the goals of improved safety, reduced power outages and neighborhood beautification are met. Call City Hall at 297-6041 for further information.
First, notify the Police Department by calling 297-0241. This problem may be resolved by simply having a Police Officer visit the pet owner and inform them of the City’s regulations regarding excessive noise or animals running at large. If the problem continues, the City Manager can formally notify the pet owner by letter of the complaint and request that the situation be resolved immediately. Contact the City Manager at 297-6041. If the problem is not resolved after notification, a Belle Meade citation can be issued to the pet owner.

Obviously, for health and safety reasons, it is important for all homes in the City to look lived in and cared for, even if they are vacant for periods of time. The City has strict property maintenance regulations and will send a letter to the property owner in violation, giving them a time period to comply before the City steps in and performs the required maintenance at the property owner’s expense. Please call City Hall at 297-6041 to report a property that is not being maintained or where unsafe/unhealthy conditions exist.
