There is no county bulk-collection route. Residents haul bulky waste, such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances, to the Resource Authority in Sumner County (RAS) in Gallatin, or arrange removal through a private hauler. The RAS transfer station accepts all types of waste except hazardous waste; refrigerant must be removed from appliances first, and items like tires and propane tanks carry per-item fees. Household hazardous waste is not accepted at the station and is routed to periodic collection events in the region. Dumping bulky items along a road or on vacant land is illegal dumping, charged as criminal littering under state law.
Illegal dumping is prosecuted as criminal littering under Tennessee law, escalating from a misdemeanor to a felony by weight and volume, plus cleanup costs and possible court-ordered litter removal.
