Maury County Collection Center
1984 Bear Creek Pike, Columbia, TN 38401
(931) 380-1784Maury County Collection Center on Bear Creek Pike is the county-run drop-off in Columbia where local residents bring household refuse and recyclables. People from around the county use it for routine cleanouts and seasonal pickups, so expect regular local traffic.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and lanes to pull up for unloading; the site is mostly outdoor with large roll-off containers and concrete pads. Signs and painted lanes guide traffic flow, and there are clearly separate containers for different types of materials. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly have a line, while weekday mid-mornings tend to be quieter. Bring a vehicle that can back up or pull alongside containers for easier unloading.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a photo ID or proof of residency ready in an easily accessible place before reaching the booth.
- Secure loose items with a tarp and tie-downs to avoid debris falling out while driving to the site.
- Plan to arrive early on weekends or during spring cleanup to avoid long waits; midday weekdays usually move faster.
