Small transfer station used by Nashville and Antioch residents for dropping off household and yard debris that gets compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Located at 1428 Antioch Pike, it's the kind of place locals use when driving all the way to a county landfill isn't worth the trip. Expect a practical, worksite feel rather than anything fancy.
Drive up to an entrance with a booth and a scale; vehicles usually stop briefly to be weighed and then are directed where to unload. The site is mostly open concrete or gravel pads with large roll-off containers and a tall concrete tipping area where trucks compact material. Traffic can pile up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so lines are common then. Bring a secured load and be prepared to back into the tipping area or hand things out of a truck bed depending on how busy it is.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go during weekday mornings if possible - weekends and spring cleanup periods are when lines get longest.
- Have your load covered and tied down; loose trash or uncovered mulch will slow things and might get refused.
- Bring identification and any paperwork the county requires for residential disposal, and load items so they’re easy to grab when it’s your turn to unload.
