Small county landfill in Hayden used by residents and haulers from around Blount County. It's the kind of place people drop off household junk, construction debris, and commercial loads headed for final burial. You'll see pickups, trailers, and roll‑offs lining up on busy days.
A scale and entrance booth sit near the driveway, so expect to drive onto the scale and likely stop there again on the way out since tipping fees are charged by weight. The site is large and mostly open - cells and cover dirt are visible from the access road and trucks move in and out steadily. Commercial vehicles are accepted alongside residential cars and trucks, so there will be heavy equipment and big loads at times. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, while midweek traffic is usually lighter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before driving in so debris doesn’t fly off while waiting in line.
- Plan for the scale stop: pull up with an easy-to-access load and be prepared to drive forward for the outbound weigh-in.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; spring cleanup season can mean long waits and more large trucks on site.
