City of Chattanooga Landfill
City of Chattanooga Landfill, 9327 Birchwood Pike, Harrison, 37341, Tennessee
City of Chattanooga Landfill is the municipal landfill listed at 9327 Birchwood Pike in Harrison, Tennessee. Residents, landscapers and commercial haulers use it as the final place where trash is buried and disposed of.
This is a large, open site with frequent truck traffic and the usual landfill sights-rolling cells of compacted material and cover dirt. Most landfills have an entrance booth and a scale, so expect to stop to check in and be weighed, with tipping fees commonly charged by weight or per load. Follow directions from the booth to the active tipping area; recycling or brush drop-offs are often separated from the main garbage pit. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so plan for possible wait times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before you leave home to avoid debris on the road and delays at the entrance.
- Have a rough idea of what’s in the truck - heavier items change the fee if the site charges by weight, and separating brush or metals can save time.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup days if possible, and bring gloves or a helper for unloading bulky items.
