Waste Facility

State of TN

312 Rosa L Parks Ave 14th floor, Nashville, TN 37243

(615) 532-0780

This is the State of TN waste facility in downtown Nashville, used by residents and small local haulers who need to drop off household and community refuse. The office is in a multi-story building on Rosa L Parks Ave, but the facility itself handles routine local disposal needs and related transactions. People from nearby neighborhoods come here for standard disposal services rather than commercial-scale drop-offs.

Expect a practical, working site rather than anything flashy; there will likely be a control/entry point where vehicles stop briefly to state their purpose and get directed. Vehicles usually pull up to an intake booth or check-in lane before moving to the unloading area, and many users go over a scale on the way in or out since charges are often based on weight. The grounds are functional - paved drives, marked lanes, and piles or containers for different streams - and weekend traffic can get noticeably heavier around seasonal cleanups. Bring documents or ID that identify residency or vehicle info, as most local facilities ask for that before accepting materials.

Before You Go

  • Park where staff direct and be ready to pull forward quickly; laybys are limited and lines can form fast on busy days.
  • Load vehicles so dumping is straightforward: tarps removed, gates unlocked, and items separated roughly by type to speed unloading.
  • Expect some queuing during spring and fall cleanup periods; arrive earlier in the day midweek if possible to avoid lines.
