Rockvale Convenience Center is the small drive-up drop-off on Rockvale Road that locals use for household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Located at 8923 Rockvale Rd in Rockvale, Tennessee, it feels more like a tidy neighborhood lot than a large transfer station.
The site is the kind of place with a few large bins and roll-offs on a paved or gravel pad, so it’s easy to see where to pull up. Sort items at the truck, then pull up to the appropriate container and unload-most people handle their own stuff. There may be a small entrance area or kiosk, but visits are usually short. Expect the longest waits on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup season.

Before You Go
- Pre-sort everything at home into trash, recyclables and yard debris so unloading is quick and doesn’t block traffic.
- Bring gloves, a tarp and straps for loose or bulky items, and have someone to help with heavy furniture or branches.
- Try weekday mornings or mid-afternoons to avoid the worst of the weekend lines; plan extra time during seasonal cleanups.
