(931) 388-5810

Maury County Collection Center in Columbia is the county-run spot where locals drop off household trash and cleanup loads. People from around the area bring bulky items, bags, and small trailers here for disposal at the county facility on Santa Fe Pike.

There’s a small entrance booth and a gate where vehicles pause briefly; pull up to that booth first and be ready to tell them what’s being dropped off. The site is open-air with piles and containers spread across a gravel lot, so expect a working, utilitarian layout rather than a polished facility. Vehicles are directed to specific drop-off points - larger items may require backing up to a container while carloads pull up to smaller bins. Fees and the list of accepted materials can vary by county, so the attendant at the booth will usually confirm what’s allowed and whether a charge applies.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or cover for loose loads so trash doesn’t blow out while driving on Santa Fe Pike to the site.
  • Have items sorted by type in the truck or trailer before pulling up so unloads go faster and directions from the booth are easier to follow.
  • Avoid peak weekend times during spring and fall cleanups if possible - lines and wait times tend to be noticeably longer then.
