You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
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 clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
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 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.
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.
First item / additional item

Reviewed · Sources below
A mattress goes out on the city bulky collection by appointment, and the city counts a mattress with its matching box spring as one item. The county also runs a mandatory mattress recycling programme with a published fee for each piece.
Furniture is named in the city's bulk refuse definition and also appears in the county's bulk item examples, so a couch either goes out on a scheduled city pickup or is dropped at a county convenience center. The city charges per item.
Appliances, air conditioners and metal objects are refused by the city's collection, and the county's published lists do not name appliances for the convenience centers or the transfer station, so the route has to be confirmed by phone.
Electronics are refused at the city's mobile hazardous waste collections and taken free at the county convenience centers, where monitors and televisions are named on the accepted list for Rutherford County residents.
Building debris such as scrap lumber, plaster, roofing, concrete, brick and paint is refused by the city, and the county convenience centers also refuse construction and demolition material. Those loads go to the Rutherford County Transfer Station.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulk definition, which covers boxes, furniture, drained push lawn mowers and toys, and the ordinance refuses riding lawn mowers and similar equipment, so the machine is confirmed with the department first.
The city bulky programme is appointment only, with published per item charges and a rule that no other waste goes out in the same stop. County convenience centers take up to three bulk items a day from county residents as the alternative.

Charges are added to the water bill, the pickup needs to be scheduled with the Solid Waste Department at 615-893-3681, and only the account holder on the water bill may book it.Official guidance
Rutherford County requires mattresses and box springs to be recycled through Spring Back Recycling at designated convenience centers, including Leanna on Sulphur Springs Road, Smyrna on G Street and Rockvale on Rockvale Road. The county sets a fee for each mattress and each box spring, paid directly to the recycling partner, and the transfer station no longer accepts them in its waste stream.Official guidance
Only by appointment. Furniture is part of the bulk refuse definition, the pickup has to be scheduled with the Solid Waste Department at 615-893-3681, and city crews will not collect furniture left out without a confirmed date. The charges run per item and land on the water bill.Official guidance
Yes. The county centers are for Rutherford County residential use and take household waste along with up to three bulk items a day, with a couch, a chair, a mattress, a lamp or other household furniture named as bulk examples. They are closed on Thursdays, and on Sundays those centers accept household garbage only.Official guidance
The solid waste ordinance excludes appliances, air conditioners and metal objects from city collection, along with automotive waste, carpet, building debris and hazardous material, so those items never ride the curbside route. The county's lists do not name an appliance drop-off either, so confirm the destination with the county at 615-848-7739.Official guidance
The county convenience centers accept all bulk metal at every location except Haley Road, and the waste disposal page lists glass food containers and bulk metal as materials placed in separate containers on site. Large household appliances are listed as not accepted in the county's electronics programme, so metal scrap and appliances are not the same route.Official guidance
To a Rutherford County convenience center that accepts electronics, which lists monitors and televisions along with computers, phones, tablets, game consoles, cords and small devices. The service is free for county residents, and the city's mobile hazardous waste collections no longer take electronics.Official guidance
Tool, lithium ion and standalone household batteries, damaged or swollen batteries, all light bulbs, medical and clinical devices, hazardous waste and liquids, electronic waste from businesses or organisations, and large household appliances are all refused. Business or large loads are directed to City eWaste at 615-807-0520.Official guidance
No. The solid waste ordinance excludes building debris such as scrap lumber, plaster, roofing, concrete, brick, paint and paint cans, and plumbing debris from city collection, and the county convenience centers refuse construction and demolition material as well. The transfer station is the published destination.Official guidance
The transfer station charges a tipping fee based on the load, with the published cash customer schedule running from a flat rate for loads between one and 999 pounds to a per ton rate from one ton upward under the rates effective July 1, 2026. Customers who expect to haul regularly can apply for an account for reduced tonnage rates.Official guidance
Ask first. The bulk refuse definition names boxes, furniture, push lawn mowers with the oil and fuel drained and toys, and the ordinance refuses riding lawn mowers and similar equipment, so an exercise machine is confirmed with the Solid Waste Department at 615-893-3681 before it is set out.Official guidance
The city charges ten dollars per item for the first three items and thirty dollars for each item beyond three, with the charges added to the water bill. A mattress with its matching box spring counts as one item, and so do a matching headboard, footboard and bed rails or a sectional sofa.Official guidance
From December 26 through January 9 the bulk collection takes only boxes, flattened and tied together, and call-in bulk pickup is not available at all in that window. The rest of the year the pickup is generally available with 48 hours notice between January 9 and December 24.Official guidance
The city provides a free 96 gallon cart emptied once a week and collects household garbage and yard waste Monday through Thursday, with a weekly residential fee of $13.50. Additional carts can be purchased, and the solid waste office answers at 615-893-3681 from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.Official guidance
No. The city empties what is inside the garbage container only, and furniture or other bulky pieces need an appointment through 615-893-3681. The ordinance also refuses appliances, building debris, carpet, automotive waste, chemicals, metal objects and similar material no matter how it is set out.Official guidance
The Rutherford County convenience centers, including Leanna on Sulphur Springs Road, are open to county residents with proof of residency for household waste, up to three bulk items a day, recyclables, bulk metal, electronics, oil based paint and bulbs, and the mattress recycling programme. Construction and demolition material, commercial waste and hazardous waste are refused there and go to the transfer station or a collection event.Official guidance
Rutherford County began requiring mattress and box spring recycling on August 1, 2026 because the pieces consume landfill space, and a fee applies to each mattress and each box spring at the designated centers, paid to the recycling partner. The transfer station stopped accepting them through its waste stream, and the city still counts a mattress with its matching box spring as one bulky item on its own route.Official guidance
