Waste Facility

Waste Management - Iris Glen Environmental Center

1705 E Main St, Johnson City, TN 37601

(866) 909-4458

A 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. Many people pull up, unload to the appropriate pile or container, then drive back past the booth-lines build up on weekends, especially during seasonal cleanups. Vehicles with trailers or small trucks fit fine, but maneuvering a long, heavy trailer takes some care around the tipping areas.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps, loose items, and any heavy objects ahead of time so unloading goes quickly and safely.
  • Bring something that proves local residency if the county requires it, just in case they ask.
  • Try to avoid mid-morning weekend hours if possible; arriving early on a weekday or late afternoon can cut down on wait time.
