Hartsville and the Consolidated County
Following a 2000 referendum, Hartsville and Trousdale County consolidated into the Hartsville/Trousdale County metropolitan government. Hartsville is the seat of that government, with a compact downtown along the West Fork of Goose Creek, just north of the Cumberland River. In census terms the consolidated city-county counted about 11,600 residents in 2020, but most of its land is rural.
| Communities we serve | Hartsville and the surrounding area |
|---|---|
| Main highways | SR 25 - links Carthage (SE) and Sumner County (W), SR 141 - links Lebanon (S) and Macon County (N) |
| Neighboring Middle Tennessee counties | Macon, Smith, Sumner, Wilson |
Two state routes cross the county. SR 25 runs from Carthage in the southeast toward Sumner County in the west, and SR 141 runs from Lebanon in the south toward Macon County in the north. Institutions include Trousdale County High School, the Tennessee College of Applied Technology's Hartsville campus and the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center.
Town and Country Calls
Because the government covers the whole county, our Trousdale County work stretches from houses and businesses in downtown Hartsville to farms on country roads near the county lines. Rural properties often include barns and outbuildings, septic systems and long drives, so we ask about access before we set out. Downtown work, by contrast, can involve older buildings close to their neighbors, where quiet, contained work matters most.
Calls can involve a death at home that went unnoticed, injury or illness cleanup, hoarding situations that extend into outbuildings, sewage or septic backups, or animal waste on farms.
- Homes and businesses in downtown Hartsville
- Farmhouses, barns and rural property across the county

Reaching Trousdale County
Our base is the Nashville area; Trousdale County has no office of ours. Call 615-513-5112 at any hour; the line is answered 24/7. We confirm that law enforcement or the medical examiner has released the property, explain the scope and give you a realistic arrival window. Then we work with protective equipment, containment, EPA-registered disinfectants per label directions and appropriate disposal. We also serve neighboring Lafayette, Carthage, Lebanon and Gallatin.
