You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
