The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Morristown collects household garbage once a week in city issued ninety gallon carts, runs a commingled recycling program through free blue carts, and picks up bulk waste at the curb on the same day as recycling. The city ordinance defines residential bulk waste as stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, washer and dryer sets, furniture and similar pieces heavier than fifty pounds or larger than thirty two gallons, caps a pile at five feet long, three feet tall and four feet wide, and requires it out by seven in the morning no earlier than the day before collection and on the property where it was generated. What the city will not take is equally clear: construction debris from a contractor is the owner's private responsibility, hazardous and flammable material is banned from every city container, and electronics, paint, batteries, bulbs and aerosols are collected through special events that the city announces during the year and, for paint, tires, scrap metal, wood, auto batteries and used motor oil, at the Hamblen County Landfill on Sublett Road.
A mattress is bulk waste under the city ordinance, so it goes out at the curb on the recycling day as part of the residential bulk pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the city residential collection service for a property inside the city limits, with no per item bulky waste fee published, as long as the pile stays within the ordinance limit of five feet long, three feet tall and four feet wide.
When & how
Bulk waste is collected on the same day as recycling, and the ordinance requires it out by seven in the morning and no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection. The city moved to a four day collection week in June 2026 with colour coded routes, and a holiday or snow event shifts collection a day later.
Get it ready
Put the bedding at the back of the curb, or at the ditch, alley or street line where there is no curb, without blocking the roadway, a sidewalk or a drainage ditch, and only at the property where it was generated. Keep it separate from yard waste and stay inside the pile size limit, because a pile that violates the ordinance can be cited.
Furniture is named in the city bulk waste ordinance and is collected curbside with the recycling route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the city residential collection service for a property inside the city limits, with no per item fee published and the pile held to the ordinance size limit.
When & how
Collected on the same day as recycling, out by seven in the morning and no earlier than the day before collection, with holiday weeks shifting the route one day later.
Get it ready
Put furniture at the back of the curb or the ditch, alley or street line, keep it separate from yard waste, and keep the pile within five feet long by three feet tall by four feet wide. Only city issued carts are collected for regular trash and recycling.
Stoves, refrigerators, water tanks and washer and dryer sets are the appliance examples the city ordinance names as residential bulk waste.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the city residential collection service for a property inside the city limits, with no per appliance fee published, within the ordinance pile limit.
When & how
Collected with the bulk pile on the recycling day, out by seven in the morning and not before the day before collection, and the route shifts a day later after a holiday or snow event.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove the doors where the manufacturer allows it before setting it out, keep it at the back of the curb with the rest of the bulk pile, and keep it out of the garbage cart, because the cart has to empty freely when it is tipped and anything that will not fall free is not collected.
Electronics are listed as non recyclable and are collected at special events the city announces during the year rather than in the carts or the bulk pile.
City cost & eligibility
The city lists electronics with paint, batteries, hazardous materials, bulbs and liquid aerosols as items that are not recyclable and are instead collected at special collection events announced through the year, and no event date or fee is published on the page, so call Public Works at 423-585-4658 to confirm the next event before storing a television.
When & how
Events are announced through the year, and the city has not published a standing schedule or site.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or remove the storage before handover, keep the device out of the blue recycling cart and out of the bulk pile, and never place it in the garbage cart, because the city lists electronics as prohibited in its containers and the recycled material has to be handled separately.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk waste ordinance, so the piece needs a confirmation call before it joins the pile.
City cost & eligibility
The ordinance names stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, washer and dryer sets and furniture as bulk waste and does not mention exercise equipment, so call Public Works at 423-585-4658 with the size and weight of the machine before setting it out, especially if the pile would exceed the five foot by three foot by four foot limit.
When & how
If the city accepts the piece it goes out with the bulk pile on the recycling day, out by seven in the morning and no earlier than the day before collection.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart so the pile stays inside the size limit, tie the cord and loose parts to the frame, remove any battery pack so it is handled separately, and keep the machine out of the recycling cart, which refuses metal items such as pots and pans and garden hoses.
Tires are not part of the city curbside routes and go to the Hamblen County Landfill, which the city names for tires and other hard to handle items.
City cost & eligibility
The city lists tires among the additional non recyclable items collected at the Hamblen County Landfill, 3849 Sublett Road in Morristown, and publishes no tire rate, so call the landfill at 423-581-8784 to confirm the hours and the charge before loading.
When & how
The landfill takes these items on its own schedule, which is not published on the city page, so confirm the hours by phone before travelling.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the garbage and recycling carts and out of the bulk pile, and confirm any per tire limit or preparation rule when you call, because the city page lists tires only as a landfill item.
Contractor generated construction waste is expressly not collected by public works, and the owner has to arrange private removal.
City cost & eligibility
The ordinance states that construction waste such as scrap lumber, plaster, roofing and concrete from the construction, repair, remodeling or demolition of a building that is generated by a contractor or professional will not be removed by the public works department, and that the owner must have the material privately removed. Construction waste is also on the list of substances prohibited in city containers.
When & how
There is no city collection day for this material, so a private hauler has to be arranged, and any brush or tree work done by a professional is that contractor's responsibility as well.
Get it ready
Keep scrap lumber, plaster, roofing and concrete out of the carts and out of the bulky waste pile, arrange private removal before the work starts, and keep the material out of the yard waste pile, because the ordinance forbids mixing demolition material with leaves or brush.
Residential bulky waste is collected curb side on the recycling day, within an ordinance pile limit and only from the property where it was generated.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the city residential collection service for residential properties inside the city limits, with no per item bulky waste fee published. Non residential generators are responsible for removing their own material to a permitted disposal site.
When & how
Collected on the same day as recycling, out by seven in the morning and no earlier than the day before collection, with holiday weeks and snow events shifting collection one day later under the four day schedule introduced in June 2026.
Get it ready
Place the pile at the back of the curb, or at the ditch, alley or street line where there is no curb, without blocking the roadway, a sidewalk or a drainage ditch, and keep it separate from yard waste. The pile may not exceed five feet long, three feet tall and four feet wide, and it may not be put out before the day before collection.
Household garbage goes in the city issued ninety gallon cart with the lid closed and the cart out by six in the morning on the collection day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the city residential collection service for a property inside the city limits, which issues one ninety gallon cart per household. An additional cart costs 44.10 dollars and is paid for by the homeowner, while recycling carts are issued free of charge.
When & how
Garbage is collected once a week, carts must be at the curb by six in the morning on the collection day, and a holiday pushes the collection to the next business day under the four day route schedule.
Get it ready
Point the handle and wheel side of the cart toward the house, leave at least four feet between the cart and other obstructions, place it at the edge of the curb, in the driveway or within two feet of the edge of the road, and keep the lid closed with nothing left beside the cart, because loose garbage next to a can is not collected. The city collects only carts it issued, and anything inside the cart has to fall free when it is tipped.
Flammable, hazardous and infectious material is banned from every city container, with paint and used motor oil going to the county landfill and hazardous items to special collection events.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for hazardous material. Paint, auto batteries and used motor oil are collected at the Hamblen County Landfill at 3849 Sublett Road, 423-581-8784, while paint, batteries, hazardous materials, light bulbs and liquid aerosols are also listed for the city special collection events announced during the year, and no fee is published for either route, so confirm the route, the hours and any charge before loading.
When & how
The landfill runs its own hours and the city events are announced during the year, so call 423-581-8784 for the landfill and 423-585-4658 for the next city event.
Get it ready
Keep flammable liquids, solids and gases, pathogenic and radioactive waste, other hazardous or injurious material, hot materials such as ashes, and discarded sharps out of every city container. Motor oil containers are also refused in the recycling cart, so keep oil and oil containers for the landfill route.
Point the handle and wheel side of the cart toward the house, leave at least four feet between the cart and any other item, and place the cart at the edge of the curb, in the driveway or within two feet of the edge of the road. The lid stays closed and nothing is left beside the cart.
A bulk waste pile may be no larger than five feet long, three feet tall and four feet wide, goes at the back of the curb or at the ditch, alley or street line, stays separate from yard waste, and may only be placed at the property where it was generated.
Out by seven in the morning, not before the day before
The ordinance allows bulky waste at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection and requires it out by seven in the morning on the collection day. Regular carts go out by six in the morning, and a holiday or snow event shifts the route a day later.
Flammable liquids, solids or gases such as gasoline, benzene or alcohol, pathogenic and radioactive waste, hazardous or injurious material, construction waste, hot materials such as ashes, unbagged human or animal waste, infectious waste and discarded sharps are all prohibited in city containers and cannot be placed in the bulk pile. Construction waste is also the owner's private responsibility when a contractor generated it.
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.
