Cities and communities across Rutherford County
Murfreesboro is the county seat and largest city, with about 153,000 residents, Middle Tennessee State University and a pre-Civil War courthouse on its downtown square. Smyrna, a town of about 53,000 with a small portion in Williamson County, is anchored by a large auto assembly plant and the airport on the former Sewart Air Force Base. La Vergne, about 38,700 people, borders Nashville's Antioch area and hosts a large warehouse and manufacturing base.

To the south and west, the county turns rural. Christiana, an unincorporated community of about 4,300 along US 231, grew up around a railroad whistle stop, and Rockvale, about 1,300 people on State Route 99, is a farm community where new homes are steadily appearing.
Interstates, rivers and the land between
Interstate 24 is the county's spine, running from La Vergne through Smyrna to Murfreesboro, and I-840 loops around Murfreesboro's edges. US 41/70S follows the same corridor as Murfreesboro Road and Broad Street, while US 231 heads south through Christiana. The Stones River and its West Fork wind through the county, and Percy Priest Lake reaches into the northern edge near La Vergne and Smyrna.
That geography produces a wide range of work. Suburban subdivisions and apartments fill the I-24 corridor; student housing surrounds MTSU; plants and distribution centers line the interstate; and farms with septic systems, barns and outbuildings cover the south and west. Property owners and agencies with creek-side, greenway or lakeside land can call for sharps or vacated-encampment cleanup.

How a Rutherford County call usually goes
Rutherford County is served from the Nashville area by our mobile service, without a county office. When you call 615-513-5112, day or night, we listen first, explain how we would approach the situation and agree on the scope. On site we contain the area, use protective equipment, remove what cannot be cleaned and disinfect with EPA-registered products following label directions.
After a death at home, the medical examiner or law enforcement must release the property before cleanup begins. We never promise insurance coverage, which depends on your policy, and we refer plumbing, pest control and rebuilding to the appropriate trades.
