Franklin's New Voluntary Blue Bin Program

Jan 27, 2020 at 09:37 am by adminjen


Blue Bin delivery Phase one began January 6, 2020.

Start the new year off right by helping the environment through the City of Franklin’s upgraded and expanded Blue Bin program. The Sanitation and Environmental Services Department began delivering the blue bins beginning in January 2020. Citizens will be charged $4.00 a month for twelve months to cover the administration fee for the blue roll out container after it is delivered to your home. After the first year, there will not be an added fee. The sixty-four gallon blue roll-out container will remain the property of the City. The blue bin program is voluntary.

Residents who registered before December 15, 2019 received their cans during phase one, which goes through the end of February. They are delivering more than 8,000 bins.  Sanitation began collecting Blue Bin recycling from your new bin the following week after your bin was delivered!

  • Residents who registered after December 15, 2019 will receive their container after phase one delivery is complete.
  • Blue Bags and Cardboard will no longer be collected off the ground after March 26, 2020.
  • Recycling will only be collected in City Provided Recycling Containers.
  • Excess Recycling can be taken to Williamson County Convenience Centers.
