Quick answer
Clarksville does not have a universal City curbside garbage/bulky pickup program. Curbside service is generally through private haulers, while Bi-County provides resident self-haul facilities including the Highway Drive Transfer Station.
Who qualifies matters. Private-hauler rules vary by address; Bi-County resident facilities have user-fee, material and disposal rules.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
Furniture, mattresses and other bulky household goods may be accepted by the serving hauler or at the proper Bi-County disposal facility. Fees and acceptance rules depend on the route used.
Household hazardous waste and other special material
Montgomery County/Bi-County also publishes recycling and household hazardous waste events. The County announced a 2026 household hazardous waste event, but residents should check the current event details before travel.
Where to take large items in Clarksville
Resident self-haul route. Mattresses, box springs and Freon appliances must go to the Bi-County main landfill at 3212 Dover Road; current fees apply.
Before set-out
For curbside bulky pickup, contact the private hauler serving the address. For self-haul, use the appropriate Bi-County facility; the Highway Drive Transfer Station is open six days a week, while mattresses, box springs and Freon appliances must go to the main landfill on Dover Road.
- Confirm the service address and the agency or hauler responsible for it.
- Check whether the bulky route requires an appointment, assigned week, sticker, fee or volume limit.
