Gray's Disposal in Nashville--A Yelp Review

My Review of Gray's Disposal in Nashville on Yelp




PILES OF TRASH: 

Gray's Disposal hit a new low last holiday season when my trash was not picked up from Thanksgiving until after the New Year leaving piles of garbage at Christmas that my multiple calls could not get hauled away. I had to repackage my trash bags into boxes to try to keep critters out and to make neater piles around my trash can while I called and called to no avail. I had paid a quarter in advance for the service, so there was no excuse for them leaving that trash for so long.




HAULED AN ANTIQUE CABINET AWAY: 

Then in May of 2013, they hauled away my mother's antique Electrolized-Electroweld storage cabinet which was NOT sitting next to the trash but was near the sidewalk to my back door while I made room for it in my utility room. I called right away as soon as I saw it was gone and asked that it be returned, but for whatever reason, Gray's Disposal Company could not return this valuable antique.

Macy's Closing Stores and Laying Off Workers Again - Yahoo




I launched my career as a shop girl at Casterner Knott in the Green Hills area of Nashville in the late 1970s when I worked my way through college. I transferred to Castner-Knott in Bellevue Center when that mall was built but had to leave due to a family illness.

I resumed workingat the same store when it was Proffits a few years later for Christmas and returned again when it was changing over to Hechts at the turn of the century, which in turn became Macy's. Eventually the Bellevue Macy's closed during a "reorganization" period.

 Now  Macy's is going through another "reorganization" which means more layoffs and more store closings.
