Where Do You Throw Away Construction Debris in Murfreesboro?
Construction and demolition debris in Murfreesboro goes to Middle Point Landfill or the Rutherford County Transfer Station, both off East Jefferson Pike, where you pay a tipping fee by weight. The county's own landfill on Landfill Road stopped taking construction material in 2018 and now only accepts brush and tires.
If you are hauling it yourself, know the difference before you drive out. Middle Point Landfill (Republic Services) takes construction and demolition debris and is where most local contractors dump. The newer Rutherford County Transfer Station also accepts C and D debris by the ton. Both sit off East Jefferson Pike on the north side of the county.
Do not confuse either one with the Rutherford County Landfill on Landfill Road. That county site stopped accepting construction and demolition material back in 2018 and now only takes brush (about $30 a ton) and off-the-rim tires (about $2 each). Show up there with drywall and lumber and you will be turned away.
Tipping fees change, so call the county solid waste line at 615-898-7739 to confirm current rates before you load up.
For anything bigger than a single truckload, a local roll-off dumpster is usually the cheaper and faster move. It rolls the landfill trip, the tipping fee, the fuel, and the loading into one flat price. See how sizes match up in our dumpster size guide, or price it out in the cost guide.
