(423) 477-1552A small county-run drop-off point in Johnson City for residents to unload household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Locals use it for quick runs when trash pickup isn't an option or during seasonal cleanups. The site feels more like a cluster of large bins and skips than a full-scale transfer station.
Pull into a simple entrance lane and drive up to a low concrete pad with several roll-off containers and smaller recycling bins. There may or may not be an attended booth; many convenience centers have minimal staffing, so be prepared to handle lifting and sorting yourself. Cars and small trucks are the usual vehicles here-big trailers can be awkward to maneuver around the tight aisles. Expect a utilitarian, no-frills layout with signs on the containers indicating general categories like trash, recyclables and yard waste.
