Convenience Center
Norene Convenience Center
10684 Cainsville Rd, Norene, TN 37136
Small county-run convenience center off Cainsville Road where locals drop off household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. People from Norene and nearby areas swing by when cleaning out the garage or mowing the yard; it’s not a large transfer station, more of a practical neighborhood spot.
Drive up to a modest paved lot with a few large roll-off containers and bins; you’ll be doing the unloading yourself. Containers are usually grouped by material, so have things sorted before getting out of the vehicle. The site can feel a little cramped if several pickups are there at once, and trailers need a bit of room to maneuver. It’s the kind of place where you park, hop out, and handle the drop-off - don’t expect a lot of hand-holding.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Separate recyclables, trash, and yard waste at home so unloading goes quickly and nobody has to move things around at the site.
- Bring gloves and a tarp for loose or dirty items; heavy lifting help is useful for furniture or appliances.
- Try to come during weekday mornings or non-peak times if possible - weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to back up.
