A small convenience center in northwest Knoxville where local residents drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Most users are neighborhood folks making quick runs rather than commercial haulers. It sits on Neal Drive and feels like a typical county-run drop-off point.
Drive up a short lane to a clearly marked entrance with a small booth and a few large roll-off containers visible from the road. There are separate containers for general trash, recycling and yard waste, and the layout is compact so vehicles often need to maneuver carefully between bins. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busier and lines can form; weekday mornings are usually quieter. Signage will show where to pull up and where each material goes, and vehicles typically stop, drop off and drive out the same way.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring help or equipment for heavy or bulky items - it’s easier to lift things down into the bins with an extra pair of hands.
- Sort materials in the driveway before getting there so unloading is faster and avoids extra trips around the site.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; mid-week or early mornings usually mean shorter waits and less congestion.
