(865) 215-5865Dutchtown Convenience Center is a small neighborhood drop-off spot for Knoxville residents to bring household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Locals swing by with carloads or trailer loads rather than driving to a big transfer station. Expect a no-frills, county-run setup rather than a commercial operation.
The site is compact with a single entrance lane that leads past a small attendant booth; vehicles usually pull up next to the booth to check in before moving to the containers. There are separate roll-off style containers and smaller bins for different materials, so maneuvering a trailer takes a bit of care. The surface is gravel or paved, with posted signs indicating where to drop items; bring straps or tarps handy for loose yard waste. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for brief waits if it's busy.
