Monroe County Convenience Center
570 Little Notchey Creek Rd, Madisonville, TN 37354
(423) 442-9962Small county convenience center used by Madisonville and Monroe County residents for household drop-offs and yard debris. Short drives in from Little Notchey Creek Road and mostly set up for quick, drive-up unloading.
The site feels like a neighborhood drop-off - a few large roll-off containers and separate bins for recyclables and yard waste are common. Pull up to the entrance, head toward the central island or booth area, then drive to the container you need; some centers have a short line at the peak times. The ground is gravel or packed dirt in places and larger trucks move through slowly, so take care when backing up. Expect to sort items yourself into the right container rather than someone doing it for you.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp or straps for loose items so things don’t blow out while hauling and unloading stays quick.
- Back the vehicle in if possible - it makes dumping into the higher-sided containers much easier and faster.
- Plan trips for weekday mornings if possible; weekends and spring cleanup draw noticeably longer lines and tighter parking.
