Johnson City Solid Waste Services
91 New St, Johnson City, TN 37601
(423) 975-2792Johnson City Solid Waste Services on New St is the municipal drop-off for people with extra trash, yard brush or recyclables that won’t fit in a regular pickup. Neighbors swing by here when doing yard work or cleaning out the garage. The address is 91 New St, so it’s easy to find if heading toward downtown Johnson City.
Pull up to the entrance booth and be ready to slow down - there’s usually a scale and traffic lanes leading into the yard. The site looks like an industrial lot with large roll-off bins, piles of yard material in one corner and concrete pads for unloading other items; big trucks come and go. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup and leaf season, tend to get backed up so lines are common. Drivers often spend a few extra minutes sorting and dropping loads, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables, yard waste and regular trash at home so unloading is quicker once on site.
- Secure loads with tarps or straps before leaving; loose debris can blow out on the way and makes unloading slower.
- Bring gloves, a shovel or a pry bar for bulky or wet items-they make the whole process less messy and faster.
