Shelby County convenience centers and dump hours
Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers two convenience centers, the Shelby County Waste Tire Collection Site, and the Shelby County Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Some are run by the City of Memphis and Liberty Tire Recycling, not the county. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.
What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more
Before you go
- City of Memphis solid waste customers can also take up to one truckload of non-hazardous waste a month to a landfill. The city’s page links to Republic Services’ list of landfills for finding the closest one.
- City of Memphis residents can use three recycling convenience centers for plastic bottles and jugs, paper, glass, cartons, and cans, but not plastic bags, cardboard, or paint: downtown on Mud Island Drive (the north entrance of Mud Island Park), in Cordova near the Agricenter (about 300 yards from Germantown Parkway South), and at the Hickory Hill Community Center.
Convenience centers
- Only City of Memphis solid waste customers can use the convenience centers. Bring your latest MLGW bill and a photo ID. Shelby County doesn’t post a trash drop-off for people outside the city.
