The Macon County Transfer Station is a county-owned disposal facility that is
provided for the residents of Macon County. The Transfer Station was
established in 1997 when the landfill was closed after many years of operation.
The landfill itself is maintained as cropland and is monitored and inspected
according to State of Tennessee guidelines.
The Transfer Station is located on the same premises as the landfill, on
Heady Ridge Road, approximately one mile from the Macon Bank & Trust Office in
Red Boiling Springs.
The Transfer Station accepts most solid waste, tires, and items for
recycling. The procedure is to weigh-in each vehicle containing trash as
it enters the Transfer Station. The customer can then unload his/her
trash. Then the vehicle is weighed on the way out.
In addition to the Transfer Station there are recycling bins throughout the
county.
Directions to the Transfer
Station
1. From TN 52, go north on McClure for 1.2 miles.
2. Turn left on Heady Road.
3. Bear left after 0.1 miles.
4. You are still on Heady Road. Go another 1.1 miles to the
Transfer Station on your left.
Please remember to keep Macon County
beautiful
by disposing of your trash responsibly.
Free Recycling
Join the Recycling Movement that's spreading around the world. The goal of Free
Recycling is to
reduce the amount of useable stuff that winds up being
thrown away, filling up our landfills, and using up our natural
resources. Members post items online that they no longer want: a table, a power
tool, a bed, a toy, clothes, a computer, whatever. Another member spots
something he/she wants, contacts the current owner, and receives the item for
free. No money changes hands. Simple and elegant, and less unnecessary
waste!
