What it takes

It’s one of two Davidson County convenience centers that take tires, some paint, used motor oil, and household hazardous waste. It’s one of three Davidson County convenience centers that take mattresses, electronics, and some batteries. The Omohundro Convenience Center takes construction debris.

Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
