Hardin County Solid Waste Convenience Center
7851-7985 TN-57, Counce, TN 38326
Hardin County Solid Waste Convenience Center in Counce is where people from the area bring household trash, recyclables and yard clippings. Pickup trucks and small trailers are common sights, especially on weekends. The site sits along TN-57 at 7851-7985, so it’s easy to find from the highway.
Pull into a paved lot with several large containers and smaller recycling bins; there’s usually a small entrance booth and a clear drive-up flow through the site. Expect to circle the lot a couple times to find the right drop-off point for different materials. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so wait times vary. Come with loads already separated as much as possible to move through faster.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort cardboard, metal and brush at home if possible so unloading goes quicker and fewer trips around the lot are needed.
- Secure and cover loose loads on trailers to avoid spillage on the drive and while waiting in line.
- Try to go on a weekday morning if that’s an option; weekends tend to be busiest, especially during seasonal cleanups.
