Morristown Balefill Landfill
Morristown Balefill Landfill, 3849 Sublett Road, Morristown, 37813, Tennessee
Morristown Balefill Landfill on Sublett Road is the local burial landfill where trash and baled material ends up. Residents with big cleanouts and commercial haulers both use this site for larger loads.
Drive in and there’s an entrance booth and a scale - expect to stop for weighing before and after dumping. The yard is large and a bit dusty, with stacks of bales and compacted piles and the usual stream of dump trucks and roll-offs. Tipping fees are charged by weight, so commercial loads are handled on the scale and residential drops are typically subject to a minimum charge. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.

Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads so debris doesn’t spill on the drive in and unloading goes smoother.
- Be ready for scale weigh-ins both coming and going; allow extra time for the double-stop and factor weight-based fees into the trip.
- Sort and consolidate what can be tossed beforehand and try to avoid weekend mornings during peak cleanup season to cut down on wait time.
