Cheatham County Convenience Center in Chapmansboro is the small county drop-off spot for residential trash, recycling and yard debris. Locals swing by with pickup loads or trailers rather than big commercial hauls, so expect a compact site rather than a sprawling transfer station.
The site feels like a basic neighborhood drop-off: a short driveway, a few container bays and the kind of gravel or paved pad where trucks pull up to unload. Some convenience centers have a small booth or attendant window, though others are unstaffed, so plan on doing most of the lifting and sorting yourself. Containers for trash, recyclables and yard waste are usually separated and clearly labeled; pull up close to the appropriate bin and move materials off your vehicle. Lines build up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait if several trucks are there at once.
