Does brush and yard waste pickup work the same across the county?
No, and that's a big reason people call us. Each city sets its own rules, and the communities outside city limits have no town pickup at all. None of them take stumps at the curb.
| Area | Who picks up brush | Size limit at the curb |
|---|---|---|
| Murfreesboro | City crews, inside city limits | No longer than 6 feet or wider than 8 inches |
| Smyrna | Town crews, homes only, owner-cut brush | Limbs up to 6 feet long and 8 inches across |
| La Vergne | City brush truck | Limbs up to 6 inches across. No stumps or root balls. |
| Rockvale, Christiana, Lascassas, Walter Hill | No town pickup. These are unincorporated. | Haul it yourself |
| Eagleville | It's a town, so check with Eagleville Town Hall | Ask the town |
Outside the cities, county residents can't take brush to the county's recycling and convenience centers. The county says yard waste and brush go to the Rutherford County Landfill or the Murfreesboro mulch facility instead. The county landfill charges $30 a ton for brush.
Grinding takes care of the stump where it sits. There's nothing to haul anywhere.
What's different about stump grinding in each part of the county?
The work is the same. The ground and the yards are not.
- In Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and La Vergne, it's mostly subdivision yards, privacy fences, narrow gates, and HOA common areas.
- Out toward Rockvale, Christiana, and Eagleville, it's bigger lots, fence rows, and new homes built on old farmland.
- Around the cedar glades, the soil is thin over limestone, and roots wrap around rock.
- Near the Stones River and its forks, we see big old hardwoods with wide root flares.
