Please remember to remove all lights and ornaments from your Christmas tree. Trees with lights and ornaments will not be recycled.

The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation has provided a 2018 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Schedule on their website and the link is below:

https://www.tn.gov/environment/sw-mm-household-hazardous-waste-program/sw-mm-household-hazardous-waste-collection-event-schedule.html

The link below will direct you to Williamson County's government website which will provide information on convenience center locations that will accept excess trash and recycling:

• Brush and limbs, cut by the homeowner, will be collected if the length of branches is no longer than six (6) feet. Trunks or limbs of trees measuring six (6) inches or more in diameter must be cut into pieces no longer than two (2) feet;
• Yard waste and grass clippings placed in biodegradable paper bags at least three (3) feet from the rollout container;
• White goods"including stoves, refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners, not installed by a commercial establishment;
• Bulky items, including furniture, small appliances, lawnmowers (with the fluids drained) and mattresses

All contractors are required to haul away their own debris. Debris may include, but is not limited to, tree limbs and yard clippings, re-modeling debris, glass windows or doors and broken appliances installed by someone other than the homeowner. Placing these items at curbside for collection by your City Solid Waste collector is prohibited. Homeowner’s not in compliance may receive citations from the City of Franklin Codes Enforcement Officers.

If the homeowner does the re-modeling job, cleans out the garage, or replaces landscaping, there are two options: 

1.    For clean-up and re-modeling you may request an 8-cubic yard container, or dumpster, be delivered to your home. Dumpster service is available weekly for a fee of $110.00 per service. Please call the President of your Homeowner’s Association to approve your plan, prior to calling the Solid Waste office to schedule delivery. To discontinue service, call the Solid Waste office to request dumpster pick-up and discontinuance of service. 

2.    The Williamson County Landfill and county-operated convenience centers accept debris from special projects. You may contact the landfill at 615.790.0742 for specific locations, operating hours and further details.

Your rollout container, yard waste, brush, and other refuse and debris should be placed at the curb no later than 7:00 AM on your scheduled service day. Rollout containers should not be curbside prior to 7:00 PM the day before scheduled collection service. The deadline for removing your empty rollout container from curbside is 7:00 PM, the evening of collection day. The opening lid of your rollout container should face the street.

When parked cars block access to the items placed at the curb, our trucks will not be able to service that location. Please be sure to NOT block access of the items to be collected, including the rollout container. Public sidewalks, streets and drainage ditches are not acceptable locations for leaving rollout containers and refuse for collection.

Prohibited from placement in rollout containers are: 

• Flammable substances, including hot ashes; 
• human or animal waste not contained in sealed bags; 
• Oil Based Paint, motor oil, and other liquids; (BOPAE)
• Tires, batteries and other automotive parts; 
• Hazardous wastes include any substances that may constitute a hazard to health or may cause property damage by reason of being explosive, flammable, poisonous, corrosive, radioactive, infectious or otherwise harmful to people or equipment; Household hazardous wastes include substances used in small quantities for household projects;

Keep Williamson Beautiful coordinates Household Hazardous Waste Day events. For further information, please contact the Keep Williamson Beautiful office at (615) 790-5848 or www.keepwilliamsonbeautiful.org.

The Williamson County Landfill, 5750 Pinewood Road, accepts tires, anti-freeze, motor oil, paint and automotive batteries year round. Contact the landfill office at (615) 790-0742.

Batteries, Oil, Paint, Antifreeze and Electronics (BOPAE) are recycled year round, at the City of Franklin's Solid Waste Department, located at 417 Century Court. You may contact the Solid Waste Department at (615)794-1516 for details.

Yard waste includes leaves, shrub trimmings, small tree limbs and grass clippings. Title 17 requires these waste items be placed in biodegradable paper bags of not more than 33-gallon capacity. These bags may be purchased at local retailers throughout our City. Yard waste placed in biodegradable paper bags becomes a non-contaminated, recyclable product. Plastic bags contaminate yard waste, as plastic does not decompose. When customers use biodegradable paper bags, we can mix the collected product with brush to create a base for our City Streets Department compost operations.

Biodegradable paper bags containing grass clippings and other yard waste does not need to be placed inside the roll-out container.

A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or containing it until the fire department arrives - but portable extinguishers have limitations. Because fire grows and spreads so rapidly, the #1 priority for occupants is to get out safely.

Fire Extinguisher FAQs

 Where should I place my extinguisher(s)? 

• Download a resource from the National Fire Protection Association that identifies which occupancies require extinguishers and where they should be placed within them HERE.

When should I replace my extinguisher?

• Replace your extinguisher if the gauge or pressure indicator needle is not in the "green" or "full" area (some household extinguishers do not have gauges), or it shows signs of damage (cracking on the hose or nozzle, nozzle blocked with debris, handle that's wobbly, broken or missing).
• Replace your extinguisher every 12 years, even if it appears to be in good working order.

How can I dispose of my extinguisher?

• Fire extinguishers cannot be disposed of in regular trash unless they are discharged completely. 
• To avoid mess, the best way to discharge an old extinguisher is outside into a trash bag-lined trash can. 
• Discharged extinguishers (ABC) are accepted at Franklin's BOPAE (Batteries, Oil, Paint, Antifreeze, Electronic Waste) program.
