(931) 375-6401Maury County Solid Waste in Columbia is the county solid waste site people use for dropping off household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Neighbors from town and the county bring everything from a few bags to full truckloads. The place looks like the typical county transfer spot - practical and a bit utilitarian.
Drive up to an entrance kiosk and be prepared to pull up close to it; larger trucks will need extra room to swing. There’s usually a fenced area with big roll-off containers and separate piles for yard waste and recyclables a short walk or drive from the booth. A scale is commonly located on site, so many vehicles stop there as they come and go. Weekends and early spring yard cleanup days tend to have the longest lines, so expect other cars and trucks queued at busy times.
