The Sanitation Department of Public Works strives to keep Jefferson City clean and safe. One way the department accomplishes this goal is by providing trash and recycling disposal services.

 

For questions about trash and recycling removal, call Public Works at 865-475-6617.

In Jefferson City, household garbage and recycling are picked up by Waste Connections of Tennessee. To sign up for trash and recycling services, call Public Works at 865-475-6617. Please do not place yard waste, recycling, electronics, or hazardous household waste in the trash. Recycling pickup is biweekly.

 

 

We’re excited to announce we’ve teamed up with Waste Connections to provide 95-gallon carts on wheels for ALL Jefferson City residents!

 

Residents should use their new blue carts ASAP. Beginning the week of April 4th, WC will dispose of old customer-owned containers. After that, WC will no longer service personal cans.

 

 

 

Place all items inside the cart, completely close lid, and roll to curb. Please place all trash in bags to reduce litter.

 

 

The handle should face your home, so that the cart opening faces the road.

 

 

Make sure there is nothing in front of cart and atleast 4 feet of space or clearance on the sides. Everything much be IN THE CART for pick up.

 

 

Due to the automated trucking dumping from above, wind may cause spillage if everything is not bagged.

 

 

No trash, recycling, or yard waste will be picked up on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day. During holiday weeks, if your normal pickup day occurs on or after the holiday, your pickup will be delayed 1 day.

 

The Jefferson City Public Works Department will be using our leaf collection machine to pick up leaves beginning Monday, October 26, 2020. Un-bagged leaves may be placed at the curb for pickup from this date until Friday, January 8, 2021. Leaves can also be placed in bags for pickup during this time. The leaf collection route will be the same as our regular brush pickup route depending upon the amount of leaves to be picked up. Please remember that the Public Works Department can not cover an entire day’s route during the height of leaf pickup season. Daily schedules are kept as to the location of the route. These locations may be obtained by contacting Public Works at 865-475-6617.
