Cash, check and cards are accepted (except no cash at Omohundro), but every card payment carries a 2.8% fee, minimum $1.95 — on a $10 load, that's nearly 20% extra. Loads under a cubic yard can't be heaped above the truck bed; bigger loads can't include construction debris or come on a trailer longer than 12 feet.
The rules that turn people away
Residents only: a Tennessee driver's license showing a Davidson County address.
No commercial vehicles — that includes any vehicle with commercial advertising on it or commercial tags — and no commercial waste.
All household trash must be bagged.
You unload your own load.
Not accepted anywhere: brush and leaves, concrete, brick, rock, dirt, roofing shingles, siding, pallets, railroad ties, posts and poles, plumbing, gutters, car parts other than tires, gas tanks, asbestos, ammunition, fireworks, medical waste.
The construction-debris cap is posted two ways: Metro's fee table says a load can't exceed 2 cubic yards, while its bulky-items page limits residents to 1. Plan on 1 cubic yard, or call 311 first.
