A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The garbage can has its own set-out rules

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.

A bulky item has to be on the monthly list

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.
