Solid Waste Facility
Henderson County Solid Waste
701 Blue Goose Rd, Lexington, TN 38351
(731) 967-9748A county solid waste site out on Blue Goose Road that locals use for household trash, yard clippings and drop-off recycling. Neighbors, landscapers and folks with pickups swing by here when clearing out stuff that won’t fit at the curb.
There’s a small entrance booth and a lane to pull up to; expect to stop there before you go any further. The yard is fairly open with piles and bins visible from the road, and larger trucks moving around so watch where you pull in. A scale is commonly part of these county sites, so be prepared to stop again when you leave. Weekends, especially in spring, can back up with folks doing cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Drive a straight-in approach and watch for big trucks; backing up and tight turns are a pain if the place is busy.
- Have loads separated by material type before getting to the drop-off area so unloading goes quicker.
- Bring straps or a tarp for loose yard waste and tie down anything in a pickup bed-windblown debris is a common hassle.
