A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Reviewed · Sources below

Furniture and household junk

Accepted with preparation

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.
Curbside refuse, brush and bulk collection, set-out rules and contactsHousehold junk collection and the items the city will not takeAppliances, building material, hazardous waste and ashes rules

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

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.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

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.
Appliances, building material, hazardous waste and ashes rulesCounty transfer stations, accepted appliances and computers, hazardous waste day

Televisions, computers and electronics

Special rules apply

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.

Brush, bulk and other large items

Accepted with preparation

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out after noon, back in by midnight

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.

Curbside refuse, brush and bulk collection, set-out rules and contacts

Protect the collection crew

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.

Garbage preparation and the dangerous item rule

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Bristol Tennessee keeps nearly everything in its own weekly curbside collection: refuse, household junk, furniture, appliances, brush and bulk items all go out on the same day, and no request call is needed for the junk, brush or bulk. The exceptions are the items the city refuses, which are tires on rims, car parts, building materials, dirt, rock and contractor material, plus hazardous and liquid waste. Appliances and computers can also be taken to a Sullivan County transfer station, with the Bristol station at 804 Raytheon Road open 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and not closed for lunch, so confirm the days it is open on (423) 878-1880, and the county runs the household hazardous waste collection day for paint, chemicals and similar material.
