The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Bristol Tennessee runs its own solid waste collection and keeps the rules simple: household refuse, brush and bulk items all go to the curb on the same weekly collection day, and no appointment is needed. Household junk such as furniture and appliances is picked up in the same round, usually within a few days of the regular trash service. The city draws the line at tires on rims, car parts, building materials, dirt and rock, and anything from a contractor's job, and it does not collect hazardous or liquid waste at the curb. Old appliances and computers can also be taken to the Sullivan County transfer station on Raytheon Road, and the county runs the household hazardous waste collection day.
Furniture goes out as household junk at the curb on the regular collection day, and the city confirms discarded household furniture is picked up on the garbage collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item charge for household junk and bills residential solid waste through its utility, with rate changes issued as utility rate adjustments rather than an item price. Confirm how the collection appears on your account with the Public Works Department on (423) 989-5567.
When & how
Put the piece at the curb on the regular collection day. Brush and bulk items do not need a request call and are picked up one to three business days after the trash service, with the weekly schedule sometimes slipping in peak season.
Get it ready
Place the junk neatly at the curb, keep it clear of the container and the sidewalk, and keep anything reusable out of the pile. Building material, dirt, rock, car parts and tires on rims are not part of this collection.
A mattress goes out as household junk on the regular collection day, with the city asking residents to check with Public Works if a crew declines the piece.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress rate and bills solid waste through its utility, so confirm the collection and any charge with the Public Works Department at (423) 989-5567.
When & how
Set the mattress out with the rest of the household junk on the regular collection day rather than waiting for a separate appointment.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress neat and at the curb with the other junk. The city's junk page does not name mattresses individually, so ask Public Works if a crew leaves the piece behind.
Discarded appliances are picked up at the curb on the garbage collection day, with a safety rule about airtight containers and children.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance rate and the county transfer station pages publish no price either, so confirm the charge with Public Works at (423) 989-5567 or with the Sullivan County Department of Sanitation at (423) 323-6439 before a trip.
When & how
Put the appliance out with the household junk on the regular garbage collection day, or take it to a Sullivan County transfer station during its posted hours.
Get it ready
Never leave a discarded appliance, refrigerator or other airtight container where a child can reach it unless it is crated, strapped, locked or altered so a child cannot be trapped inside. Empty the unit first and keep liquids out of it, because the city does not collect liquid waste.
The city publishes no electronics program, so a screen or computer goes to a Sullivan County transfer station or out as household junk after checking with Public Works.
City cost & eligibility
No city or county page read here publishes an electronics charge. Confirm with Public Works at (423) 989-5567 for a curbside set out or with the Sullivan County Department of Sanitation at (423) 323-6439 for the transfer stations.
When & how
Take devices to a Sullivan County transfer station during its posted hours, or ask Public Works how the city wants a screen handled on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
The city treats fluorescent and television tubes as dangerous items, so if a tube goes into a container it has to be securely wrapped and marked to protect the collection crew. Keep electronics out of the recycling and keep the device whole rather than breaking it down.
Fitness machines are not named in the city's rules, so ask Public Works whether the machine goes out as household junk.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate and never names exercise equipment, so call Public Works on (423) 989-5567 and confirm how the machine should be handled before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Ask first, then use the regular collection day if the machine is accepted as household junk.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, keep the loose weights and parts together, and keep it out of the recycling.
The city is not responsible for building materials or contractor material, and those items have to go to a proper disposal site at the owner's expense.
City cost & eligibility
The city states it is not responsible for collecting or hauling building materials from private property, or for materials from contractors' jobs, so disposal has to be arranged privately with a landfill or a container service that sets its own charge.
When & how
Arrange the private route before the work starts so the material has somewhere to go.
Get it ready
Keep building material, dirt, rock and contractor debris out of the household junk pile, because a mixed pile can be left at the curb. Keep paint, solvents and other hazardous material out of the load as well.
The city does not collect hazardous or liquid waste at the curb, and Sullivan County runs the household hazardous waste collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The city is not responsible for collecting hazardous or liquid waste or highly combustible industrial waste, though it may offer an annual date and site. The county publishes a household hazardous waste collection on September 26, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and no fee is published here, so confirm the details with the county on (423) 323-6439.
When & how
Hold the material until a county collection day, then deliver it to the published site during the posted window.
Get it ready
Keep liquids, paint and chemicals out of every container and out of the household junk pile. Live coals and ashes may only be set out once they have been thoroughly wetted and are completely cold.
Brush and bulk items go to the curb with the regular trash and are collected one to three business days later, with a published list of what the city will not take.
City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a per item charge for brush and bulk collection and bills residential solid waste through its utility, so confirm any charge with Public Works on (423) 989-5567.
When & how
Place brush and bulk at the curb on the regular collection day. No request call is required, and the material is usually collected within one to three business days of the trash service.
Get it ready
Cut tree limbs and branches into approximately six foot lengths and stack them neatly, and put grass clippings in large bags designed for heavier yard waste. Separate garbage, household junk, yard debris and leaves before setting them out. Tires on rims, car parts, building materials, dirt, rock and contractor material are not collected.
City issued roll out containers go to the curb no earlier than noon on the day before collection and come back in by midnight of the collection day. The container has to be in plain view from the street, within three feet of the curb and at least two feet from other containers, mailboxes, utility poles and vehicles, and it must not block the sidewalk.
The city collects several kinds of solid waste on the collection day and asks residents to separate garbage, household junk, yard debris and leaves before setting them out. Household junk and bulk items sit at the curb as their own pile rather than inside the container.
Broken glass, fluorescent and television tubes, light bulbs, needles and sharp pieces of metal must not be placed in a container unless they are securely wrapped and marked so the crew cannot be injured. Garbage itself has to be drained of liquid, wrapped, bagged and put in the container.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
