(866) 909-4458A local municipal-style dump run by Waste Management in Johnson City, used by residents dropping off household and yard trash. Easy to spot on E Main Street, it’s the kind of place people swing by with a truck or trailer when cleaning out a garage.
There’s an entrance with a small booth and a place to pull up so attendants can direct traffic; expect to stop briefly at that point. Large paved areas and visible piles or containers are on the lot, so drives and walkways are straightforward to follow.

Vehicles with trailers or small trucks fit fine, but maneuvering a long, heavy trailer takes some care around the tipping areas.
