What this center takes and what it does not

Dutchtown takes bagged household trash, bulky items and do-it-yourself demolition materials, plastics 1 and 2, mixed paper, cardboard, cans, scrap metal, tires, car and motorcycle batteries, used oil and other auto fluids, cooking oil, fluorescent bulbs and one propane tank a year.

Old carpet goes in with the bulky waste. Dutchtown and Carter are the two county centers without a carpet recycling container; Halls, Karns, John Sevier, Powell and Tazewell Pike have one.

County pages disagree on electronics at Dutchtown. The current recycling page and brochure list electronics recycling at Halls, Karns and John Sevier, while the county’s FAQ page still names Dutchtown. Clothing drop-off is listed only at Halls, Karns and John Sevier.

Glass bottles and jars, green waste, liquid paint, appliances containing refrigerant, shingles, brick, block, concrete and commercial waste are refused.
