Setting up your trash service involves contacting a couple of different agencies with the City of Gallatin. Follow the following steps and you'll breeze through the process as easy as 1-2-3! (really there are only two steps).

Garbage containers can be purchased from the City for $68 each. Call 615-451-5895 or visit the Recorder's Office in Gallatin City Hall at 132 W Main Street to submit a

Containers purchased from the City come with a manufacturer's 10-year warranty.

If you are buying your can from the city, skip the next step.
Purchase a Trash Can on Your Own
After submitting your
Online Trash Service Application if you purchase a trash can from a hardware store, call us at 615-452-2147 to give us the serial number on the container in order to activate your account. Gallatin uses fully automated garbage trucks so containers must be compatible with the City's equipment (see picture below). If the can was not purchased from the City, any damage or replacement is the responsibility of the owner.
About Trash Can Serial Numbers
Not every container purchased from a hardware store has a serial number. In this case please call anyway and a serial number can be issued for your can.
