City collection Furniture is named as an eligible bulky item and comes off the curb once a month for current city trash customers who are on the pickup list. No charge. Current City of Gallatin trash customers only, with the household on the monthly pickup list; the bulk service is included with the trash account rather than charged per item.
City collection A mattress is not named on the eligible bulk list or the refusal list, so the household has to confirm it with the city before the monthly pickup. The city publishes no mattress rule and no per item charge, because bulky items ride the monthly pickup included with a city trash account, so confirm the set with Environmental Services at 615-452-2147 before it is placed at the street.
City collection Appliances are named as an eligible bulky item, and the household confirms the unit and any refrigerant handling when the monthly pickup is booked. No charge. Current City of Gallatin trash customers only, with the appliance on the monthly pickup list; no per item charge is published because the service is part of the trash account.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Gallatin collects household garbage Monday through Thursday in customer-owned cans, and once a month it runs a bulk item pickup for the things that will not fit in them. That bulk service is for current city trash customers only, it names appliances, furniture and scrap metal as examples, and it refuses construction and remodelling debris, tires, auto parts, dirt, rock, concrete, bricks, gas tanks, hazardous waste and anything small enough for the regular bin. Households book the pickup online, must be on the list, cannot put items out more than five days early, and have to beat a Wednesday afternoon cutoff or wait for the next month. Tires, electronics and renovation material go to the Resource Authority in Sumner County at 625 Rappahannock Wire Road, where batteries and electronic waste are weighed at a published per ton rate and construction material has its own accepted list, and the city's own recycling center on Long Hollow Pike takes the paper, metal, plastic and glass list around the clock. Paint, cleaners, oil and pesticides wait for the fall household hazardous waste collection run through the county.
Furniture is named as an eligible bulky item and comes off the curb once a month for current city trash customers who are on the pickup list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Current City of Gallatin trash customers only, with the household on the monthly pickup list; the bulk service is included with the trash account rather than charged per item.
When & how
Request the bulk pickup online, do not put items at the curb more than five days before pickup, and beat the 3:30 p.m. Wednesday cutoff before the pickup week. The published 2026 dates are July 10, August 14, September 4, October 9, November 6 and December 11, and requests after the cutoff move to the next month's list.
Get it ready
Put the furniture at the street where the truck can reach it, keep it clear of the regular can, and call 615-452-2147 before setting anything out that is not on the published eligible list, because the city says its list is not complete and the monthly truck will not take refused material.
A mattress is not named on the eligible bulk list or the refusal list, so the household has to confirm it with the city before the monthly pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress rule and no per item charge, because bulky items ride the monthly pickup included with a city trash account, so confirm the set with Environmental Services at 615-452-2147 before it is placed at the street.
When & how
Call 615-452-2147 first. If the mattress is accepted it goes onto the monthly bulk list with the same Wednesday afternoon cutoff, and if it is not, the household asks the city where a mattress can go instead, since the county transfer station takes most waste.
Get it ready
Keep the set dry and whole, take the frame and headboard off because they are separate items, and never put bedding in the recycling container or the city recycling center, which take only the listed paper, metal, plastic and glass.
Appliances are named as an eligible bulky item, and the household confirms the unit and any refrigerant handling when the monthly pickup is booked.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Current City of Gallatin trash customers only, with the appliance on the monthly pickup list; no per item charge is published because the service is part of the trash account.
When & how
Request the bulk pickup online before the 3:30 p.m. Wednesday cutoff and have the appliance at the street on the pickup date, within five days of the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, secure the doors and cords, and ask about refrigerant handling when booking, because the city pages do not state a rule for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner. Appliances never go in the garbage can or the recycling container.
A television is not named on the city bulk lists, so a set goes to the county resource authority, where electronic waste is weighed at the published per ton rate.
City cost & eligibility
$70 per ton for electronic waste weighed at the Resource Authority in Sumner County, the same rate the authority charges for batteries. Sumner County residents presenting a Tennessee driver's licence showing county residency at the convenience center; commercial vehicles and commercial loads are refused.
When & how
Take the set to the Resource Authority in Sumner County at 625 Rappahannock Wire Road, open Monday to Friday 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and closed Sunday, or call the city first at 615-452-2147 to check whether the monthly bulk pickup will take it.
Get it ready
Keep the set whole and dry, erase anything stored on it, and never put a television in the garbage cart or the recycling container, because the city refuses electronics at both and routes them to the county authority.
Electronics and batteries are accepted at the county resource authority by weight, and the city sends residents there rather than to the curbside programme.
City cost & eligibility
$70 per ton for electronic waste and batteries weighed at the Resource Authority in Sumner County. Sumner County residents presenting a Tennessee driver's licence showing county residency; commercial vehicles, commercial tags and commercial loads are refused at the convenience center.
When & how
Drop the devices at 625 Rappahannock Wire Road during the published hours, Monday to Friday 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and sort them before arrival because residents unload their own material into the designated containers.
Get it ready
Erase stored data, keep cables with the device where practical, take loose batteries out so they can be weighed with the same load, and keep electronics and batteries out of the city recycling container, which refuses both.
Construction and remodelling debris is refused by the city bulk pickup and goes to the county authority, which publishes an accepted material list but no rate.
City cost & eligibility
The city refuses construction and remodelling material in the bulk pickup and the county authority publishes no disposal rate on its pages, so confirm the load and the charge with the Resource Authority in Sumner County at 615-452-1114 before hauling it.
When & how
Take the load to the Resource Authority in Sumner County at 625 Rappahannock Wire Road, open Monday to Friday 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and sort the material before arrival because residents unload their own loads.
Get it ready
Separate the accepted categories, which are concrete and asphalt, wood products including pallets, fencing and treated or painted lumber, building components such as doors, windows, flooring, cabinetry and plumbing fixtures, brick and tile, asphalt shingles, plaster and drywall, and insulation. Keep hazardous material, liquids and industrial waste out of the load, and keep everything out of the city garbage can and the bulk pile.
An exercise machine is not named on the bulk list, so the household confirms it with the city before the monthly pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No city page names an exercise machine and no per item charge exists because bulky pickups are part of a city trash account, so confirm with Environmental Services at 615-452-2147 whether the machine can ride the monthly bulk pickup.
When & how
Call 615-452-2147 first, and if the machine is accepted add it to the monthly bulk list before the 3:30 p.m. Wednesday cutoff for the following pickup date.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, take the console and any battery off so the battery can go to the county or to a battery retailer, and keep the frame out of the garbage can, which refuses items that will not fit.
One monthly bulk pickup takes appliances, furniture and scrap metal for current city trash customers, with a short refusal list and a Wednesday afternoon cutoff.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Current City of Gallatin trash customers only, with the household on the pickup list; the monthly bulk service is included with the trash account rather than billed per item.
When & how
The pickup runs once a month on the published dates, requests are made online, items may not be placed at the curb more than five days early, and scheduling closes at 3:30 p.m. on the Wednesday before pickup with later requests moved to the following month.
Get it ready
Confirm anything unusual by phone at 615-452-2147 before it goes out, keep refuse material out of the pile because construction and remodelling debris, cardboard boxes outside the move-in window, auto parts, tires, dirt, rock, concrete, bricks, gas tanks, hazardous waste, dead animals and small household items are all refused, and remember that new residents get up to three cardboard box pickups in their first six months.
Tires are refused at the city curb and go to a tire dealer or the county authority, which requires them off the rim and stacked by the customer.
City cost & eligibility
The city refuses tires in the garbage can and in the bulk pickup and sends them to a tire dealer or the resource authority, and the authority publishes no tire rate on its pages, so confirm the charge with the authority at 615-452-1114 before hauling them.
When & how
Take the tires to the Resource Authority in Sumner County at 625 Rappahannock Wire Road during its open hours, Monday to Friday 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., or leave them with a tire dealer.
Get it ready
Remove every tire from its rim, keep tractor tires out of the load because the authority refuses them, and expect to load the tires into the trailer yourself in a scissor stack. Tire loads from outside the county are not accepted.
Paint, cleaners, oils, batteries and pesticides are banned from the cart and collected once a year in the fall, with the date set by state authorities.
City cost & eligibility
The city says hazardous waste is banned from the trash and that one fall drop-off is held each year with the date and location determined by state authorities, and no fee is published, so confirm the event with the Resource Authority in Sumner County at 615-452-1114.
When & how
Watch for the annual fall household hazardous waste collection and confirm the date and location with the authority at 615-452-1114. Batteries and bulbs can also go to Batteries Plus Bulbs at 1545 Nashville Pike on 615-461-8065, and used motor oil to one of three named auto parts stores.
Get it ready
Never pour hazardous material down a drain, dump it on the ground or put it in the cart. Keep products in their labelled containers, and take used motor oil to Advance Auto Parts at 160 W Broadway, AutoZone at 110 E Broadway or O'Reilly Auto Parts at 1209 S Water Avenue.
Garbage is collected Monday through Thursday. The can goes to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day and comes back within twenty four hours, the handles face away from the street, the lid must close completely, and three feet of clearance is left around the can. Yard waste, construction material such as bricks and rocks, tires and hazardous material such as paint, gasoline and needles are refused, and two free courtesy dumps a calendar year cover a can that was out late, an extra pickup or a can positioned incorrectly.
The monthly bulk pickup is for current City of Gallatin trash customers, the household must be on the pickup list, items may not go to the curb more than five days before the pickup date, and requests close at 3:30 p.m. on the Wednesday before pickup, with later requests moved to the next month. Appliances, furniture and scrap metal are named as eligible examples and the city says the list is not complete, so anything unusual is confirmed at 615-452-2147 first.
The Resource Authority in Sumner County at 625 Rappahannock Wire Road takes construction and demolition material from its accepted list, tires off the rim in a customer-built scissor stack, and batteries and electronic waste weighed at a published per ton rate. It is open Monday to Friday 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and a Tennessee driver's licence showing Sumner County residency is required, with commercial vehicles and commercial loads refused.
