Smyrna, beyond the brush truck

Does Smyrna pick up bulk trash?

The town’s brush service page doesn’t mention it, and we didn’t find a separate bulky-item page. Public Works is at 615-459-9766 if you want to ask. What the town does spell out, in detail, is brush. Codes and Public Works are separate offices here, so a teardown question goes to Codes instead.

Smyrna’s brush rules

Brush pickup is free and residential only. Limbs have to be 6 feet or shorter and no more than 8 inches across, piles can’t be bigger than 10 by 10 by 5 feet, and leaves go in paper bags.

A storm pile bigger than that, or limbs too thick for the town truck, needs another route. Our yard debris and junk removal loads it up and takes it off.

Moves, furniture and assembly

Without a town bulk pickup, the old mattress and the broken dresser left from a move have nowhere to go at the curb. We move you, carry off what isn’t coming, and put the new beds, desks and shelving together through our furniture assembly.

Electronics and old paint

Neither goes in the cart or on the brush pile. Rutherford County’s Leanna Convenience Center, 4303 Sulphur Springs Rd in Murfreesboro, lists electronics, oil-based paint and fluorescent bulbs among what it takes. A dead TV, a box of old computers and the half-empty cans from a garage shelf all fit that list. Whatever’s left in the garage once those are out is ordinary junk for us.

County drop-offs and permits

Smyrna residents use Rutherford County’s recycling centers, which are closed Mondays and Thursdays and take only household garbage on Sundays. For a teardown, we didn’t find a published demolition permit rule; Smyrna Codes is at 615-355-5704. Next door, La Vergne has its own county center on Sand Hill Rd, with a one-pickup limit.
