Summary
Williamson County runs no curbside trash service. Unincorporated residents haul household waste free to one of the county's convenience centers, or hire a private subscription hauler. Franklin and Brentwood run their own city collection.
Residents may bring up to 3 cubic yards (approximately one level pickup truck load) from primary residence only to one center once per day.
Full Breakdown
The county's Solid Waste Department operates ten convenience centers plus a recycling drop-off, all reserved for Williamson County residents. There is no county curbside pickup outside the cities, so unincorporated households either self-haul or contract a private subscription hauler. Inside the cities, Franklin provides weekly curbside collection and Brentwood runs its own sanitation service. Convenience centers take up to three cubic yards per visit from a primary residence, once per day, at no charge. Commercial waste is barred from the centers and must go directly to the county landfill.
Violations & Fines
Dumping household garbage on roadsides or vacant land instead of using a convenience center, private hauler, or city collection is criminal littering under Tennessee law, a misdemeanor carrying fines, cleanup orders, and possible community service.
