Hawkins County Convenience Center
123 Lakemont Dr, Mooresburg, TN 37811
(423) 272-3491A small county-run drop-off spot in Mooresburg for folks who live in Hawkins County. Mostly used by residents bringing household trash, recyclables and yard debris, it sits on Lakemont Drive and feels like a local spot rather than a big commercial transfer station.
The site is compact-think a gravel drive with a few large metal roll-off bins and a simple entrance booth near the road. Pull up slowly, as vehicles stack up when there's a line; there’s usually a clear spot to sort materials before getting to the bins. Some centers here are unstaffed at times, so bring what’s needed to unload without help. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest, so expect slower movement then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp to keep things from blowing around while unloading into the open-top bins.
- Separate recyclables and yard waste at the tailgate so the drop-off goes faster once at the containers.
- Plan for possible waits on Saturdays and during spring yard-cleaning season-midday weekdays are often quieter.
