Services
With fall here, many residents clean up leaves and limbs. The Town of Smyrna offers a free curbside brush service for residents. The program is very active, with approximately $150,000–$200,000 spent annually on personnel and equipment.
- Residential service only — no pickup at multi-family residences or commercial properties.
- Place brush/limbs curbside following Town guidelines.
Objective: Establish reasonable mobility on main streets for safe access to hospitals and emergency routes as quickly as possible.
Level of Service: the goal is to obtain a “dry pavement” status on each roadway on the department’s priority list (goal, not objective). There shall be no deviation from the priority list without approval of the Director of Public Works superintendent.
The Smyrna Public Works Department wants you to stay safe during flash flooding. Turn Around, Don’t Drown is an NOAA National Weather Service campaign warning of the hazards of walking or driving through flood waters.

The Town of Smyrna, with Murfreesboro and Rutherford County, follows guidance from the Tennessee Department of Health and UT Agricultural Extension Service. We do not spray in right-of-ways due to health risks and limited effectiveness, but we place larvicide cakes in Town right-of-ways where there is standing water.
Personal repellent remains the most effective protection. For additional information, visit the State of Tennessee:
