Bulky pickup in Knoxville
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Knoxville mattresss: up to 5 bulky items/week — call 311 with a bulky alert ≥2 business days ahead. Keep HHW for the Elm Street HHW facility. Self-haul also available at the Solid Waste Facility (fees may apply).
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to Knoxville permanent free HHW at 1033 Elm Street. Wet paint/liquid HHW accepted; latex paint → dry and trash (not accepted at HHW). Keep chemicals off bulky piles.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Knoxville electronics including e waste mixed go to the Solid Waste Facility specialty recycling at 1033 Elm Street (and some Knox County Convenience Centers). Wipe data. Keep TVs out of recycling carts.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Knoxville recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Knoxville Waste & Resources — Bulky Waste is the official Knoxville program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
