City collection Couches, chairs, desks and beds are named in the city's bulky item list and ride the Tuesday route after a phone call. No per-piece furniture charge is published for an ordinary couch, chair, desk or bed; the additional $125 fee is listed only for specialty items such as wooden play sets, playground equipment, patio furniture, basketball goals and fencing. Confirm the piece on 615-794-1516.
City collection A mattress is named in the city's bulky list for the Tuesday route, and Williamson County recycles mattresses and box springs at three convenience centers for a published per-piece fee. The city's bulky route publishes no mattress charge, while the county's Spring Back programme charges $20 per mattress and $20 per box spring, card or debit only with no cash, at the Nolensville, Grassland and Landfill convenience centers. Confirm which route you are using before the piece leaves the house.
City collection A refrigerator or freezer is collected with the Thursday white goods route, but no refrigerant step is published, so a cooling unit has to be confirmed first. The city publishes no charge and no refrigerant instruction for a refrigerator or freezer; it says only that appliances it collects are recycled. Confirm the unit, the door requirement and the refrigerant handling on 615-794-1516 before it goes out.
City collection Franklin collects household refuse from residences inside the city limits, with containers out by 7 a.m. on the collection day. The city publishes its residential collection rates on a separate rates page rather than on the service pages, so confirm the current charges with Sanitation and Environmental Services on 615-794-1516 or review the residential rates page before the first collection.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Franklin collects bulky items itself on a Tuesday route that has to be booked by phone, and white goods such as refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers on a Thursday route through the same number. Everything the city will not take has a county route: ten convenience centers accept residential construction and demolition waste, three of them take mattresses and box springs for recycling at a published fee, and five run free electronics drop-offs. Batteries, oil, paint, antifreeze and electronics that a household cannot put in the cart go to the city's own BOPAE drop-off at 417 Century Court.
Franklin collects household refuse from residences inside the city limits, with containers out by 7 a.m. on the collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes its residential collection rates on a separate rates page rather than on the service pages, so confirm the current charges with Sanitation and Environmental Services on 615-794-1516 or review the residential rates page before the first collection.
When & how
Put the container out by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day, and keep hazardous material out of it at all times.
Get it ready
Bag the refuse inside the city cart and keep hazardous waste, CFL bulbs, fluorescent tubes, batteries, oil, paint, antifreeze and electronics out of the rollout container. Those materials go to BOPAE or a hazardous waste event instead.
Recycling goes out in the city's blue bin on the same service, and used motor oil and cooking oil are accepted at the city and county drop-offs.
City cost & eligibility
Recycling is part of the city residential service and no separate recycling fee is published on the pages reviewed, so confirm the current cart and service terms with Sanitation and Environmental Services on 615-794-1516.
When & how
Set the blue bin out with the rest of the collection on your scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep the materials loose and clean, keep plastic bags out of the bin, and take used motor oil and cooking oil to the BOPAE site or a county convenience center rather than putting them in the cart.
Franklin collects bulky items on a Tuesday route that has to be arranged by phone, and everything the city will not take goes to a county convenience center or the landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per-item charge for an ordinary bulky piece, but specialty items such as wooden play sets, playground equipment, patio furniture, basketball goals and all types of fencing are collected only for an additional $125 fee. Confirm the item and any charge on 615-794-1516.
When & how
Call Sanitation and Environmental Services on 615-794-1516 to arrange the pickup, then place the items at the curb on the Tuesday, no later than 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the pile at least five feet from anything on either side and clear of power lines and trees, and make sure the items are clearly identifiable as trash. Items the city will not take, including construction material, have to go to a county convenience center or the landfill.
Couches, chairs, desks and beds are named in the city's bulky item list and ride the Tuesday route after a phone call.
City cost & eligibility
No per-piece furniture charge is published for an ordinary couch, chair, desk or bed; the additional $125 fee is listed only for specialty items such as wooden play sets, playground equipment, patio furniture, basketball goals and fencing. Confirm the piece on 615-794-1516.
When & how
Arrange the pickup by phone, then put the furniture at the curb on the Tuesday, no later than 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Take loose cushions and drawers out where you can, keep the piece light enough for the crew to handle safely, and keep it five feet clear of anything else and away from overhead lines. Furniture the city will not take has to go to a convenience center or the landfill.
A mattress is named in the city's bulky list for the Tuesday route, and Williamson County recycles mattresses and box springs at three convenience centers for a published per-piece fee.
City cost & eligibility
The city's bulky route publishes no mattress charge, while the county's Spring Back programme charges $20 per mattress and $20 per box spring, card or debit only with no cash, at the Nolensville, Grassland and Landfill convenience centers. Confirm which route you are using before the piece leaves the house.
When & how
Call 615-794-1516 for the Tuesday curbside route, or take the piece to a Spring Back center, where the mattress programme hours are Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and flat, pay at the center attendant office before loading it into the Spring Back trailer, and stack it neatly at the back of the trailer yourself. Free mattress disposal ended on April 1, 2024, so a mattress cannot be left with household trash at a county center.
Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other white goods
Accepted with preparation
White goods ride a separate Thursday collection through the same phone number, and the city states that every appliance it collects is recycled.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no charge for a collected appliance and states only that appliances it collects are recycled, so confirm the unit and any terms on 615-794-1516 before it goes out.
When & how
Call 615-794-1516, then place the appliance at the curb on the Thursday, no later than 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors for safety as the city asks. The list covers refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers and water heaters, so ask about any other appliance when you call.
A refrigerator or freezer is collected with the Thursday white goods route, but no refrigerant step is published, so a cooling unit has to be confirmed first.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no charge and no refrigerant instruction for a refrigerator or freezer; it says only that appliances it collects are recycled. Confirm the unit, the door requirement and the refrigerant handling on 615-794-1516 before it goes out.
When & how
Book the Thursday collection, then put the unit at the curb before 7 a.m. on that day.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit and secure the doors as the city requires. Do not cut any refrigerant line, and ask the department who recovers the refrigerant, because no Franklin or Williamson County page retrieved here describes that step for a curbside collection.
Franklin residents can take electronics to the BOPAE drop-off, including flat-screen and tube televisions, and the county runs five free electronics stations for county residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No fee is published for the BOPAE drop-off at 417 Century Court, which serves City of Franklin residents, and the county states that there are no fees for Williamson County residents to recycle electronics at its five City eWaste stations.
When & how
BOPAE is open Monday to Thursday 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon, with the gates closing at 4 p.m. The county eWaste page lists seven-day 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours for its stations, while the convenience center hours are Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., so confirm before travelling.
Get it ready
Clear hard drives and remove personal information before drop-off, use the BOPAE gate rather than the scales, and do not leave anything outside opening hours because after-hours dumping can draw a fine. Note that all five county eWaste stations state they will not accept flat-screen televisions at this time.
Franklin collects no construction debris, but county convenience centers accept residential construction and demolition waste within a daily limit and the landfill takes it by weight.
City cost & eligibility
No city construction charge exists. The county landfill publishes a Class III/IV construction and demolition rate of $75 per ton alongside $40 per ton for brush and $75 per ton for Class I household garbage, with a 2.5% card fee, but the same page also carries a notice that free disposal ended on May 4, 2026 while the resident section still describes five free tons a year, so confirm the load and the current terms on (615) 790-0742.
When & how
Take a small residential load to a county convenience center during its posted hours, or a larger load to the landfill Monday to Friday before the 3:15 p.m. last check-in, and confirm the free-disposal question before you go.
Get it ready
Convenience centers take county residents from their primary residence only, one trip a day and about three cubic yards, with no commercial loads and no loads from rental property, which counts as commercial. Keep brush cut to three feet or less for a convenience center, and separate construction material from household garbage.
No Franklin page names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed against the Tuesday bulky route before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise machine charge, and the only published additional fee is the $125 specialty collection for items such as play sets, patio furniture and fencing, so confirm the machine and any cost on 615-794-1516.
When & how
Call first, then put the machine out on the Tuesday if the department accepts it.
Get it ready
Take the console and loose weights off so the frame is manageable, keep the machine clear of overhead lines and five feet from anything else, and keep it out of the rollout container.
Franklin collects bulky items on a Tuesday and white goods on a Thursday, and both routes have to be arranged in advance with Sanitation and Environmental Services on 615-794-1516. Items go to the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, at least five feet clear of anything on either side and away from power lines and trees, and they have to be clearly identifiable as trash.
Construction waste, mattresses and electronics have county routes
Franklin collects no construction debris, so a residential load goes to a Williamson County convenience center within the daily limit or to the landfill on Pinewood Road by weight. Mattresses and box springs are recycled at the Nolensville, Grassland or Landfill convenience center for a published per-piece fee, card only, and electronics go to the city's BOPAE drop-off or one of the five free county eWaste stations.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
