City collection Furniture is named on the acceptable bulk list, with a component rule for sectionals. No charge. Furniture counts as bulky trash within the two item weekly allowance included with the contracted service, with no separate fee published. A piece in good condition can also go to the Habitat ReStore instead of the curb.
City collection A mattress is not named as acceptable, but the refusal list only rules out bedding with living pests, so the piece is confirmed first. No Hendersonville page names mattresses as an accepted bulk item and no per piece price is published. The refusal list refuses only a mattress or furniture with living pests such as bed bugs, which the city reads as a condition rather than a category ban, so call public works at 615-822-1016 and confirm that a clean mattress counts as one of the two weekly bulk items.
City collection Appliances are accepted as bulk items, and a refrigerated unit needs the refrigerant or compressor removed and tagged. No charge. Appliances count as bulky trash within the two item weekly allowance included with the contracted service, with no separate fee published, provided a refrigerated unit has the refrigerant or compressor removed and tagged before collection.
City collection Waste Pro collects household trash once a week under the city contract, with a published allowance of two cans, two bags and two bulk items. The city contracts the collection and publishes the service standards rather than a household rate, so confirm the current billing and any charge with public works at 615-822-1016 or the contracted hauler. Backdoor collection is an upgrade through the hauler or a medical waiver, and its terms are separate.
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?
Hendersonville Public Works owns the waste program and contracts the weekly route to Waste Pro, which makes the weekly allowance the centre of the service: two cans of up to 96 gallons, two bags and two bulk items, all out by 6 a.m. on the collection day. A refrigerator is a bulk item only if the refrigerant or compressor has been pulled and tagged, and the city asks the resident to call after a professional does that work. Some things never go out at all: construction material, glass doors and table tops, motors and grills with the tank still on, tires and vehicle parts, wet paint and hazardous waste are refused, as is any mattress or furniture with living pests. There is no curbside recycling and no city drop-off for it, so paper and cardboard go to the county resource authority or a retailer, while the city runs its own paper yard bag route, its own limb crews on three rotating zones and a Saturday yard waste drop-off on Forest Retreat Road.
Waste Pro collects household trash once a week under the city contract, with a published allowance of two cans, two bags and two bulk items.
City cost & eligibility
The city contracts the collection and publishes the service standards rather than a household rate, so confirm the current billing and any charge with public works at 615-822-1016 or the contracted hauler. Backdoor collection is an upgrade through the hauler or a medical waiver, and its terms are separate.
When & how
Once a week Monday through Friday on the route day for the address, with everything out by 6 a.m. New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas each push collection back a day for the holiday and the remaining days of that week.
Get it ready
Keep the weekly volume to two cans of no more than 96 gallons, two bags and two bulk items, break down ordinary boxes into a bag or can and count only an oversized or large box as a bulk item. For an address on backdoor service, all trash has to be in bags inside cans with nothing loose, four cans of 65 gallons or smaller are allowed, the two bulk items stay at the curb, and the cans have to be visible from the driveway side rather than under a carport or behind a fence or gate.
Two bulky items go to the curb with the weekly collection, and the allowed and refused lists are published in detail.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two bulk items a week are included with the contracted weekly service, including for households on backdoor collection or a medical waiver, and no separate bulk fee is published by the city. A load the curb route refuses goes to the county resource authority at that site's own cost.
When & how
Put the items at the curb with the weekly collection by 6 a.m. on the service day, counting no more than two for the week.
Get it ready
Break large or heavy items into components before they go out, because a basketball goal, trampoline or sectional sofa that has not been broken down is refused, and keep construction material, glass doors and table tops, motors or grills with the fuel tank still attached, tires, vehicle parts, wet paint, hazardous waste, manure and any infested bedding out of the pile entirely.
Furniture is named on the acceptable bulk list, with a component rule for sectionals.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture counts as bulky trash within the two item weekly allowance included with the contracted service, with no separate fee published. A piece in good condition can also go to the Habitat ReStore instead of the curb.
When & how
Set the furniture at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, using one of the two weekly bulk items.
Get it ready
Break a sectional sofa down into its components before it goes out, because an unbroken down sectional is on the refusal list along with other large or heavy items. Keep furniture with living pests out of the pile, and consider the ReStore for anything still in good condition.
A mattress is not named as acceptable, but the refusal list only rules out bedding with living pests, so the piece is confirmed first.
City cost & eligibility
No Hendersonville page names mattresses as an accepted bulk item and no per piece price is published. The refusal list refuses only a mattress or furniture with living pests such as bed bugs, which the city reads as a condition rather than a category ban, so call public works at 615-822-1016 and confirm that a clean mattress counts as one of the two weekly bulk items.
When & how
Confirm the piece first, then put it at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day as one of the two weekly bulk items if public works accepts it.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and free of any sign of bed bugs or other living pests, because an infested piece is refused outright and would put the rest of the pile at risk. Keep it out of the cans and bags, which are for household trash.
Appliances are accepted as bulk items, and a refrigerated unit needs the refrigerant or compressor removed and tagged.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances count as bulky trash within the two item weekly allowance included with the contracted service, with no separate fee published, provided a refrigerated unit has the refrigerant or compressor removed and tagged before collection.
When & how
Put the prepared appliance at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day as one of the two weekly bulk items, after calling public works to report the tagging on a refrigerated unit.
Get it ready
Drain all water from a washing machine, and for a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or vending machine have the refrigerant or compressor professionally removed and tagged before collection, then call public works to notify them that the work has been done. A unit with the refrigerant still in it is refused.
Electronics appear on neither list, and the city runs no recycling collection, so the route is confirmed with public works.
City cost & eligibility
No city page names televisions, computers or electronics on an accepted list or prices them, and Hendersonville states that it offers neither curbside nor drop-off recycling, so call public works at 615-822-1016 to confirm whether the item counts as bulk trash or needs a retailer or county site.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then either set it out as one of the two weekly bulk items or take it to the site public works names.
Get it ready
Keep the item out of the cans and bags, delete personal data before handover, and ask whether the piece counts as one bulk item, because a television or computer is not on the published refusal list but is also not named as accepted.
Building and construction material is refused at the curb and goes to the county resource authority instead.
City cost & eligibility
The city refuses building and construction material at the curb, listing lumber, pallets, fencing and carpet among the refused items, and publishes no construction collection rate. The route is the Sumner County Resource Authority at 625 Rappahanncock Wire Road in Gallatin, which the city names as the local drop-off for bulk items including construction debris, and that site sets its own accepted items, hours and cost.
When & how
Take the load to the county resource authority during its own posted hours, or arrange a private hauler, because construction material is refused with the weekly bulk collection.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, pallets, fencing and carpet out of the curb pile entirely, separate clean wood and metal from mixed debris so the receiving site can handle it, and keep hazardous waste, wet paint, manure and vehicle parts out of the load because those are refused at the curb as well.
Exercise machines are not named, and the heavy item rule means the piece has to be broken down and confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
No Hendersonville page names an exercise machine and no price covers one. The refusal list keeps large or heavy items that have not been broken down into components, so call public works at 615-822-1016 and confirm how the machine should be prepared and whether it uses one of the two weekly bulk items.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then set it out by 6 a.m. on the collection day as one of the two weekly bulk items once public works agrees.
Get it ready
Take off the console and any loose weights and break the frame down into components, because a heavy item that has not been broken down is refused. Keep the pieces together at the curb and clear of mailboxes, wires and structures.
Paper yard bags go out on Mondays, plastic bag yard waste rides the weekly trash, and limb crews sweep three rotating zones.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Paper yard waste bag collection, the limb and brush routes and the Saturday yard waste drop-off are city services with no fee published for residents. Plastic bag yard waste collected by the hauler counts toward the weekly trash volume instead of being a separate service.
When & how
Paper yard waste bags go curbside by 6 a.m. on Mondays, with the crews working citywide on Monday and Tuesday and sometimes later in the week, and residents can report their bags to public works on Sundays. Limb crews work three routes through numbered zones with a full pass every three to six weeks, and the yard waste drop-off site is open only on the designated Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Put only leaves, grass clippings and small twigs in the paper bags and keep each bag at 40 pounds or less, because dirt, soil, rocks, vines, mulch, root balls and tree limbs are refused and limbs may not go inside a leaf bag. Limbs go to the curb for the limb crews instead, with piles within four feet of the road edge, clear of the sidewalk, away from trees, overhead wires, mailboxes and structures, limbs no thicker than 18 inches and no longer than 8 feet, and each pile no larger than ten feet by ten feet.
Hazardous waste, wet paint and vehicle parts including tires are refused at the curb, and the city runs no recycling collection.
City cost & eligibility
The city refuses hazardous waste, wet paint and automotive or vehicle parts including tires at the curb and publishes no collection or fee for any of them, and it states that it offers neither curbside nor drop-off recycling. Confirm the route for a specific item with public works at 615-822-1016, or use one of the retail drop-offs the city lists for batteries, bulbs and used motor oil.
When & how
Keep the material out of every cart and out of the bulk pile, and call public works for the accepted route before the item leaves the house.
Get it ready
Never put wet paint, hazardous waste, vehicle parts or tires out with the trash or the bulk pile. Batteries and light bulbs go to the retailer the city lists, used motor oil goes to a participating auto parts store or the Walmart Auto Care Center, and household recyclables go to the county resource authority because the city runs no curbside or drop-off recycling.
The contracted weekly service takes two cans of up to 96 gallons, two bags and two bulk items, all out by 6 a.m. on the collection day. An oversized or large box counts as a bulk item while an ordinary box should be broken down into a bag or can, and a heavy item such as a basketball goal, a trampoline or a sectional sofa has to be broken down into components before it will be collected.
A refrigerated appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or vending machine cannot be collected unless the refrigerant or the compressor has been removed and the unit tagged before it goes out, and the city asks the resident to call public works to report that the work was done professionally. Washing machines have to be drained of all water before collection.
Paper yard waste bags with leaves, grass clippings and small twigs go curbside by 6 a.m. on Mondays at 40 pounds or less per bag, and plastic bag yard waste rides the weekly trash instead and counts toward the volume. Limb crews work three colour coded routes through numbered zones in order with a full pass every three to six weeks, with piles within four feet of the road edge, limbs no thicker than 18 inches and no longer than 8 feet, and each pile no larger than ten feet by ten feet.
The city states that it offers neither curbside collection nor drop-off recycling at this time. Household recyclables go to the Sumner County Resource Authority at 625 Rappahanncock Wire Road in Gallatin, household goods go to the Habitat ReStore on Sumner Hall Drive, batteries and light bulbs go to Batteries + Bulbs on Glenbrook Way, and used motor oil goes to Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone, O'Reilly's or the Walmart Auto Care Center.
When the curb route refuses a piece, the city names two alternatives. Furniture, appliances and household items in good condition can go to the Habitat ReStore at 327 Sumner Hall Drive, and the Sumner County Resource Authority at 625 Rappahanncock Wire Road in Gallatin takes bulk trash items including construction debris, with the county site setting its own accepted items, cost and hours.
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.
A household with furniture, appliances or other household items still in good condition.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Donation rather than disposal, with the city naming the ReStore as a bulk disposal alternative for items in good condition. The store sets its own acceptance rules.
Arrange it
Call the store on 615-230-3032 to confirm what it takes and when it is open, then bring the items to 327 Sumner Hall Drive in Hendersonville.
Items with living pests, broken components or other damage still have to go through the county drop-off rather than a donation.
City of Hendersonville Public Works with Waste Pro and Sumner County Resource Authority
Sumner County Resource Authority drop-off
A household with bulk material or construction debris that the city curb route refuses.
Cost & conditions
The county site sets its own cost of disposal, accepted items and hours, and the city page does not print them, so call 615-452-1114 before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Call the authority for the accepted items and hours, then deliver the load to 625 Rappahanncock Wire Road in Gallatin.
The site is a county facility rather than a city one, so the accepted material list and any fee are the authority's and can differ from the city's curbside rules.
A household that wants collection at the backdoor rather than the curb, either through need or preference.
Cost & conditions
Backdoor collection is arranged as an upgraded service through the contracted hauler with its own terms, or through a medical waiver, and the city publishes no rate for it, so confirm the charge with public works at 615-822-1016 or the hauler.
Arrange it
Apply through public works for a medical waiver or arrange the upgrade with the hauler, then keep the cans where the crew can see them from the driveway side.
A backdoor household keeps to four cans of 65 gallons or smaller with trash bagged inside cans, and the two bulk items still have to go to the curb.
A household with used batteries or light bulbs, which cannot go in the carts or the bulk pile.
Cost & conditions
The city lists the retailer as a drop-off rather than publishing a price, so confirm the accepted battery types, bulb types and any charge with the store on 615-590-8988.
Arrange it
Call ahead to confirm what the store accepts, then bring the batteries and bulbs to 1002 Glenbrook Way in Hendersonville.
This is a retail drop-off for batteries and bulbs, not a household hazardous waste programme, so paint, solvents and other chemicals still need the route public works confirms.
County drop-off for bulk material and construction debris
Sumner County Resource Authority
625 Rappahanncock Wire Road, Gallatin, TN 37066
Bulk trash items including construction debris, along with general recycling and solid waste from households in the county.
This is a county facility rather than a city one, so the authority sets the accepted items, the cost of disposal and any quantity limits, and the city page does not print them. Call 615-452-1114 before loading a vehicle.
Set by the authority rather than published on the city page, so confirm the days and hours on 615-452-1114.
The authority sets its own cost of disposal for bulk material and construction debris, and no rate appears on the city pages, so confirm the fee for the specific load before hauling it.
Residential yard waste brought as an alternative to the curbside paper bag and limb routes.
Open to residential citizens only, with identification showing an address inside the city limits required at the gate.
Open only on the designated Saturdays listed for each month, from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with the published dates including September 19 and 26 and October 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.
No charge. The city presents the drop-off as a service for residential citizens inside the city limits and publishes no fee for it.

What bulky items are accepted?+
Stoves, refrigerators with the tagging condition, water heaters and tanks, washing machines drained of all water, furniture, large or oversized boxes, and similar material that is not on the refusal list, with two items allowed each week.Official guidance
What will not be collected as bulky trash?+
Building and construction material including lumber, pallets, fencing and carpet, glass doors and table tops, motors or grills with fuel tanks still installed, mattresses or furniture with living pests, large or heavy items that have not been broken down, manure, hazardous waste, automotive and vehicle parts including tires, and wet paint.Official guidance
Will a mattress with bed bugs be collected?+
No. Mattresses or furniture with living pests such as bed bugs are on the refusal list, so an infested piece cannot go out with bulk trash.Official guidance
Will a clean mattress be collected?+
The accepted list does not name mattresses, and the refusal list names only infested bedding, so a clean piece appears to qualify as a bulk item but the city is the confirmation point. Call 615-822-1016 before setting it out.Official guidance
What has to happen before a refrigerator goes out?+
The refrigerant or the compressor has to be removed and the unit tagged before collection, and the city asks the resident to call public works to report that it was professionally tagged. Without that step a refrigerated appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or vending machine is not accepted.Official guidance
Which appliances are accepted?+
Stoves, refrigerators with the tagging condition, water heaters and water tanks, and washing machines drained of all water are named on the acceptable list, along with furniture and oversized boxes.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go?+
The city runs no curbside or drop-off recycling, and neither list names televisions or computers, so public works is the confirmation point on 615-822-1016. The county resource authority takes general recycling and solid waste if the item has to leave the house.Official guidance
Where do batteries and light bulbs go?+
The city points batteries and light bulbs to Batteries + Bulbs at 1002 Glenbrook Way in Hendersonville on 615-590-8988, which is one of the retail drop-offs listed on the recycling options page.Official guidance
Who collects the trash in Hendersonville?+
Hendersonville Public Works manages collection and disposal and contracts the curbside work to Waste Pro, which runs the weekly route Monday through Friday. The city also runs its own paper yard bag collection, limb crews and Saturday yard waste drop-off.Official guidance
How do holidays affect collection?+
New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day each delay collection by one day when they fall on a regular collection day, and the remaining days of that week are pushed back as well.Official guidance
What if the trash is not out by 6 a.m.?+
The city states that residents must have trash out by 6 a.m. on their service day and that failing to do so may mean the week is missed, which is why the cans, bags and bulk items all have to be at the curb before the route starts.Official guidance
Who do I call with a question about an item?+
Public Works on 615-822-1016, at 101 Maple Drive N, which is the number the city prints for specific item questions, yard bag reporting on Sundays and limb questions. The county resource authority answers its own questions on 615-452-1114.Official guidance
Does Hendersonville have curbside recycling?+
No. The city states that it does not offer curbside collection or drop-off recycling at this time, and it lists the county resource authority, the Habitat ReStore, a batteries and light bulbs retailer and four used motor oil retailers instead, with curbside recycling left to private haulers residents arrange themselves.Official guidance
