Spring Hill, TN Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Chapter 2 of Title 17 in the Spring Hill Municipal Code sends large items down a separate track from the weekly cart. Section 17-203(A)(3) says the contractor shall provide for special collection from residential units of bulky waste, construction debris and stable matter, and that such collections are upon such terms as the contractor shall specify. The contractor can also choose to collect dead animals in excess of ten pounds at residential units. Section 17-201 defines bulky waste as stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, washing machines, furniture and other waste materials, other than construction debris, dead animals, hazardous waste or stable matter, with weights or volumes greater than those allowed for containers.

Containers are limited to 50 pounds with contents, and § 17-203(A)(2) caps the residential container at 35 gallons and 50 pounds. Brush is handled as a bundle: tree, shrub and brush trimmings, or newspapers and magazines, securely tied together into an easily handled package not exceeding three feet in length or 35 pounds in weight. Bags are limited to 35 pounds with contents. Rubbish, as defined in § 17-201, includes tree trimmings, grass cuttings, leaves, dead trees or branches, and used and discarded mattresses. Section 17-203(C) adds that the contractor will pick up additional bags or boxes placed at curbside beyond the containers, as long as the service is not, in the contractor's opinion, abused by the resident.

Residential units are those occupied by not more than four families. Section 17-204(I) requires the city to notify producers about rates, regulations and collection days, and complaints about a missed pickup go directly to the contractor under § 17-204(D). Because the contractor sets the terms for bulky items, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen does not publish a price or schedule for them in this chapter.
