Rutherford County Recycling Center

Rutherford County Recycling Center in La Vergne is the county recycling spot for residents looking to keep paper, plastics, glass and metals out of the landfill. Neighbors dropping off household recyclables and seasonal cleanup loads use this place more than once a year. The center focuses on diverting common recyclable materials and often has special programs for things like electronics or motor oil collection.

Drive up Sand Hill Road to a site with an entrance booth and a few large bins and roll-off containers visible from the driveway. Pull up to the booth to get directed; passenger vehicles usually unload at the recycling area on the right while larger trucks follow signs to scale or transfer lanes. The site looks like a typical county center-concrete drives, posted signs for where to put paper, cardboard, plastics and metal, and separate containers for bulky items. Weekends and spring cleanup will feel busier, so plan for a short wait and space to maneuver when backing a trailer.
