Rutherford County Solid Waste

Rutherford County Solid Waste in Murfreesboro is the county solid waste site for residents hauling household trash, recyclables or yard debris. It’s the kind of place locals use when a regular pickup won’t do or for bigger cleanups around the house.

The site sits off W College with an entrance booth and a few lanes to pull up through; expect to stop at the booth and then move on to the drop-off areas. There’s usually a scale and a clear flow from the entry point toward the different piles or containers. The grounds are industrial - concrete pads, big containers and berms - so bring shoes that can handle gravel and mud after rain. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so patience is helpful.
