Murfreesboro, where the water bill decides

Who can book bulky pickup in Murfreesboro?

Only the person whose name is on the water bill. That’s from a search excerpt of the city’s solid waste page (615-893-3681), which also quotes fees from a 2025 resolution: $10 each for the first three items and $30 for each one after. Confirm both with the city before you rely on them.

For a tenant whose landlord holds the water account, the city truck is out of reach. A move plus a junk haul for whatever isn’t coming along takes care of both ends of moving out. Add move-out cleaning and the unit is empty and wiped down before the walk-through.

Brush, electronics and hazardous waste

Brush is free at the Murfreesboro Mulch Facility, 4765 Florence Rd, per an excerpt, and household hazardous waste goes to the same address. Electronics have been taken at 1140 Haley Rd on Tuesdays and Saturdays, 10 to 4, but Rutherford County now lists the Haley Road recycling center as temporarily closed, so call 615-898-7739 before you go. The county transfer station is at 6025 Landfill Rd.

Residential demolition permits

Murfreesboro has a residential demolition permit, with its own information sheet and form. We couldn’t open either, but an excerpt says the city asks for a site sketch and a debris plan, and that TDEC air approval may be needed. Settle the paperwork first. Our demolition work covers decks, sheds, fences, kitchens and bathrooms, with the debris hauled out.

Stones River and the county around it

Stones River National Battlefield covers about 670 acres, with its visitor center at 3501 Old Nashville Hwy. Outside the city, our Rockvale page covers unincorporated Rutherford County, where there’s no town pickup at all. Murfreesboro households share that county’s 14 recycling centers, closed Mondays and Thursdays.
