Middle Point Landfill
Middle Point Landfill, 750 East Jefferson Pike, Murfreesboro, 37130, Tennessee
Middle Point Landfill is the large county landfill out on East Jefferson Pike in Murfreesboro, where household and commercial loads get buried. It’s a full-scale landfill that accepts commercial haulers and operates on a tipping-fee structure charged by weight.
Drive in and there’s an entrance booth with a scale-you’ll be weighed in and out so plan on stopping twice. The site is big: gravel roads, earth-moving equipment around capped cells, and areas cleared for dumping. Pull up to the active drop-off area, unload onto the cleared ground, then go back to the scale for the outbound weigh. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect some wait time at peak periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep loads covered and secured; loose debris blows everywhere and makes the whole process slower.
- Expect to be weighed in and out-keep any commercial paperwork handy and note the in/out weights for records.
- Avoid peak times if possible; weekends and the spring-cleanup season are when lines get long, so bring water and tie-down straps if stuck waiting.
