Hendersonville, TN Trash & Recycling: Pickup Rules & Schedules (2026)

Title 17, Chapter 1 of the Hendersonville Municipal Code sets the ground rules for curbside collection. Section 17-108 caps loaded can weight for residential users at 50 pounds. Section 17-110 makes customers responsible for supplying and replacing their own refuse containers: a can that is unsanitary, rusted, or bent so it won't close tightly must be replaced within 10 days after the collector tags it, and once that window passes the collector may remove the container at the next routine pickup. Section 17-111 (Oversized Wastes) directs that oversized wastes such as Christmas trees and appliances be placed near the road on a regular pickup day, with other bulky items boxed or bagged if practical and set near the street.

Section 17-109 requires dog owners to restrain any vicious animal so it cannot reach refuse containers or intercept the collection crew coming onto the property. whenever those containers sit within 2,500 feet of a residential building, unless the Director of Public Works specifically permits the activity, and requires any commercial container installed after the ordinance's effective date to display visible contact information in a clearly visible spot.
