(423) 581-1053GFL Lakeway Recycling & Sanitation Inc. MSW Landfill is the local recycling center on Enka Highway that people from Morristown and nearby areas use to drop off household recyclables and other divertible items. The place gets steady traffic from homeowners doing cleanouts and small contractors hauling materials they don’t want in the regular trash. It feels like a working facility, not a tidy drop-off park - expect trucks and compactors around.
Drive in through the main gate and you’ll likely pass an entrance booth and a weigh scale common to landfill-type sites, so plan for a short stop at the front. Pull through to the areas marked for recycling; bins and roll-offs are usually grouped together and set off from the general MSW zones. Loads are sorted by material type - paper/cardboard, glass, plastic, metal and similar common recyclables are typically handled, and larger items or special collections may have separate bays. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, with trucks and trailers lining up at peak hours.
