What it takes

Rutherford County’s other nine convenience centers take the same items. The Rutherford County Landfill takes tires, electronics, brush, and construction debris.

Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.

Rutherford County rules

  • Rutherford County’s 10 convenience centers are for households outside city limits, which pay a $190 solid waste fee on their tax bill each year; town residents have trash pickup and aren’t to use them. No businesses, including anyone paid to haul a neighbor’s trash. The centers take household garbage, furniture, metal and appliances, motor oil and filters, cooking oil (except Hollis), car batteries, and mixed recycling (paper, glass, plastics #1-7 except foam, cans, and flattened cardboard, unbagged), but no electronics.
  • Bills Creek, Gilkey, Golden Valley, Green Hill, Hollis, Pea Ridge, and Shiloh have Swap Shop sheds for things still in good shape. Not in the sheds: food or drinks, clothes or shoes, upholstered furniture, mattresses, pillows, stuffed animals, paint or liquids, TVs or computers, or light bulbs.
