Alcoa/ Maryville/ Blount County Landfill

Alcoa/ Maryville/ Blount County Landfill in Friendsville is the place locals use for big cleanouts, construction debris and commercial loads that need burying. State and county rules determine what’s accepted and fees vary, so expect differences from one load to the next.

There’s a vehicle scale near the entrance and a small check-in booth, so most vehicles stop to be weighed and logged before dumping. Traffic moves onto dirt access roads toward the active dumping area; be prepared for uneven ground and dusty conditions. Vehicles usually unload at the active cell or transfer pad and then go back over the scale to be weighed out. Weekends and spring-cleanup season are the busiest times and lines can back up.
