MSCOT Services, LLC. on Central Pike is the local waste drop-off used by Hermitage and nearby Nashville residents. It looks and feels like a working transfer site where people bring household loads and small construction debris.
There’s an entrance lane with a small booth area and a scale setup nearby that most people stop at on the way in and again on the way out. Traffic is mostly trucks, trailers, and pickup loads; pull up to the booth and follow the flow of vehicles to the unloading area. The site is open-air with piles, compactors, and containers spread across a gravel or paved lot, so expect dust and mud after rain. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form and move slowly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into separate piles (metal, brush, household trash, recyclables) so unloading goes faster once at the drop-off.
- Try to come early on a weekday or before midday on weekends to avoid the longest lines that build up during spring cleanups.
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and straps-loads can shift when lifting and the ground can be uneven, so secure everything before pulling out.
