City collection Furniture is named as a bulk item too large for the wheeled garbage carts and is collected by the city. The division is self-funded through solid waste fees and publishes no per-item bulky charge on the bulk page, so confirm any cost with the Solid Waste Division at 901-385-6486 rather than assuming the set-out is free.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Bartlett's Solid Waste Division runs weekly collection from 5250 Shelter Run Lane and is self-funded through solid waste fees rather than tax dollars. The city picks up twelve cubic yards of yard waste and mulchable material per residence each week, with no single piece longer than eight feet or greater than two feet in diameter, and it collects bulky items too large for the wheeled carts such as boxes, furniture, drained mowers and toys while keeping tires separate with a four per household weekly limit. Household hazardous waste is not picked up and goes instead to the Memphis and Shelby County collection facility at 6305 Haley Road, free to Shelby County residents and open Tuesdays and Saturdays. Recycling runs through three single stream drop-off centres, over-limit debris can go to the Solid Waste Complex or be collected by the city at a published per truckload price, and a 95 gallon yard waste cart can be purchased by residents. Dirt, shingles, concrete, bricks, tile, asphalt and gravel are not collected at all.
Furniture is named as a bulk item too large for the wheeled garbage carts and is collected by the city.

Twelve cubic yards a week is the limit, and the pile has clearance rules
The city picks up twelve cubic yards of debris per residence each week, about a pile thirteen feet long by five feet wide and five feet tall, and no single piece of yard waste or mulchable material may be longer than eight feet or greater than two feet in diameter. Yard waste is neatly piled behind the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, separate from other debris and no more than ten feet from the pavement, never in the roadway and never under power or phone lines, in drainage ditches, around fire hydrants, next to utility poles or boxes, or anywhere it blocks access or a motorist's view.
Over-limit debris has three options and the city charges per truckload
A resident who exceeds the weekly allowance is notified and has five business days to remove the excess, either by hiring a contractor, by taking it to the Solid Waste Complex at 5250 Shelter Run Lane with proof of residency and a scheduled drop-off, or by asking the city for a special collection, which the city prices at 400 dollars per truckload plus fees. A contractor hired to trim or landscape is responsible for the debris they generate beyond the allowance.
Refused items and hazardous products have their own destinations
The Solid Waste Division does not collect dirt, shingles, concrete, bricks or concrete blocks, tile, asphalt or gravel, and household hazardous waste is refused as well. Gasoline, liquid paint, pool chlorine, batteries, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides and transmission fluid must never go in the cart and go to the Memphis and Shelby County facility at 6305 Haley Road, while the three recycling centres take only the listed single stream materials.
