A Crossroads Town in Eastern Lauderdale County
Rogersville was first spelled Rodgersville, after Andrew and Patience Rodgers of South Carolina, and dropped the d once its post office opened in 1825. It grew where three old roads met: U.S. 72, Snake Road, which forded the Elk River into Limestone County, and Lamb's Ferry Road, which ran south to a ferry landing on the Tennessee River. The town was incorporated in 1858 and counted 1,286 residents in 2020.
Around Rogersville, junk tends to live outdoors as much as indoors. Barns, pole sheds, carports and back acreage collect old equipment, broken furniture, appliances and scrap over the years. Getting them hauled to a landfill on your own means a truck, a trailer and several trips.

Clearing a Rural Lot
Outdoor jobs around Rogersville often include items the curb was never meant for: rusted push mowers, old fencing, broken lawn furniture, a chest freezer that has sat in the barn for years. Walk the property first and flag what is going. Note anything near water, under brush or behind a gate so the estimate covers the time to reach it.
When to Call Instead
The landfill is a good option if you have a truck and a strong back. Hiring makes sense when the job is too big for a pickup, when the items are heavy or buried in a barn, or when a refrigerator or freezer is involved. Rogersville is a straight run west of Athens on U.S. 72. Calls are answered 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., seven days a week.
