Madisonville Convenience Center
288 Industrial Park Rd, Madisonville, TN 37354
(423) 442-7026Madisonville Convenience Center is the small drop-off site locals use for household junk, recyclables and yard debris. It sits on Industrial Park Road and mostly serves Madisonville residents looking for a quick way to unload things that don’t go in curbside pickup.
The site is no-frills: a compact lot with a few large containers and room to pull up next to them, similar to other county convenience centers in Tennessee. Expect to sort materials at the truck - separate piles for trash, recyclables and yard waste are common, and there’s usually a clear drive aisle for backing up to the bins. Weekends, especially in spring, get busy and trucks can be lined up, so plan for a short wait during peak times. Bring items already out of the house and stacked by type to make the drop-off quicker.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go early on a weekday if possible; Saturdays and spring cleanup days often have the longest lines.
- Have materials separated and ready before pulling in so unloading is faster and less awkward next to other cars.
- Secure loose items and make sure heavy stuff is manageable - it’s easier if a friend can help unload larger pieces.
