Scrap metal and metal items
Accepted with preparationScrap metal is accepted free of charge at the Maury County transfer station on Lawson White Drive, while the city collection refuses metal items with electronics.
- City cost & eligibility
- No charge. The county states that scrap metal is accepted at the transfer station at no charge. Businesses must file a W-9, an insurance certificate and a county business licence and be accepted as a customer before hauling, so a resident should confirm access on 931-375-6401 before arriving with a load.
- When & how
- Take the metal to 1233 Lawson White Drive on a weekday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., noting the lunch closure from noon to 12:30 p.m., and confirm the access rules first by phone.
- Get it ready
- Keep metal separated from household trash so it can be handled as its own load, drain fuel and oil from anything motorised, and keep refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners out of the metal load because those units are handled separately with the refrigerant in mind.
The handoff matters

What the city collection will not take
Demolition debris including rocks, dirt, tree stumps, wall board, plaster, bricks and building scraps is refused, along with electronic items such as televisions, computers and appliances, tires, glass and mirrors, and refrigerant items such as refrigerators, air conditioners and anything charged with refrigerant gas. Those loads go to Maury County Solid Waste instead of the curb.

The nine Maury County convenience centres take refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners when the unit is empty, televisions and other electronics, lead and lithium batteries, and latex or oil paint, with paint limited to five gallons a day per household. The centres are for county residents only, need proof of residency, cap a load at two cubic yards a day and refuse commercial waste, and the transfer station on Lawson White Drive takes scrap metal at no charge.
