Gray's Disposal Co is a local disposal site on Antioch Pike that people from Nashville bring household and yard loads to. Neighbors swing by with pickup trucks, trailers, or small trailers when they need to drop off bulk items or regular trash.
Drive in off Antioch Pike and watch for a gatehouse or entrance booth and a weigh scale nearby; many disposal sites have a scale and require stopping on the way out. The lot is typically open with piles or bays for different kinds of material and room to back a truck up to a drop-off area. Expect a working, industrial feel-gravel or paved drives, large dumpsters or roll-off areas, and heavy equipment moving around. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a short wait to get to the drop-off point.

Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp loose loads so nothing blows out on the drive in; it makes unloading quicker and safer.
- Bring helpers or plan how to unload in advance; some drop spots require backing in and tossing things down rather than getting out and sorting on site.
- Go during weekday off-peak hours if possible to avoid weekend queues, and leave extra time for weighing and paperwork at the booth.
