Solid Waste Facility
Sullivan County Solid Waste
3425 TN-126 #101, Blountville, TN 37617
(423) 323-6439Sullivan County Solid Waste in Blountville is the county’s general drop-off spot for household trash, yard debris, and recyclables for local residents and small haulers. Located on TN-126, it’s the kind of place people swing by with pickup loads or trailer trips when curbside won’t handle it.
A modest county transfer-style site with an entrance booth and a scale area; plan on stopping at the booth and then pulling forward to the appropriate drop-off lanes. The layout is open - dumpsters and recycling containers are visible from the drive - but lines can form, especially on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup. Vehicles typically pull up to a tipping area or roll-off bins and then return toward the exit/scale, so be ready to maneuver a trailer or pickup around other trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a photo ID or proof of residency, as most county centers want to verify vehicles using the site.
- Secure and separate materials in the truck or trailer beforehand - loose piles slow things down and staff will direct where specific items go.
- Try to avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; those are the busiest times and lanes can back up.
