Hawkins County Solid Waste & Recycling
8580 US-11W, Rogersville, TN 37857
(423) 272-2027Hawkins County Solid Waste & Recycling on 8580 US-11W in Rogersville is the county recycling center folks use when cleaning out the garage or bringing curbside-type loads. Neighbors, small haulers and anyone sorting recyclables for drop-off tend to show up here.
Pull in off US-11W and follow the drive toward the collection area; many centers like this have an entrance booth and a scale near the front with bins and drop-off points a short drive in. Expect the usual recyclables at places like this-paper and cardboard, metal cans, plastic containers and glass-and occasional special collections for electronics or bulky items. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so wait times can stretch out then. It helps to have materials staged and sorted before pulling up since vehicle maneuvering space can be limited.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Flatten cardboard and bundle paper so it’s easy to hand off and takes less space in the bin.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings and peak spring-cleanup days if a quick drop-off is the goal.
- Bring a tarp, gloves and basic lifting help for loose or heavy items so unloading goes faster and cleaner.
